This book presents a novel approach to studying the groundwater
dynamics of and characterising karst aquifers. The content is based
on long-term monitoring of groundwater parameters in the
epiphreatic caves of a selected karst aquifer: part of the
classical recharge area of Ljubljanica River, Slovenia. The
recorded data was analysed on the basis of the recharge to the
system, which is controlled by outflow from the Planinsko Polje,
and on the basis of the known and inferred geometry of the karst
conduit system. The book presents numerically tested conceptual
models of the observed conduit system, which offer new insights
into its structure and function. In closing, the author stresses
the importance of caves as groundwater monitoring sites and
provides new tools for interpreting cave water level hydrographs.
Although the book focuses on a specific site, the methodology
introduced here can be applied to numerous other karst systems,
lending it considerable practical relevance.
