Karstified rocks of different lithology cover more than 10% of the
continental surface of our planet. It is known that some 20% or
even a few percent more of the global population largely depends on
karstic groundwater but in many karst areas all over the world
there are limited natural resources including absence of drinking
waters. The problems of water shortage, equitable water use or
water protection from pollution, become more problematic when they
come to transboundary regions. The Dinaric region is a classical
karst area where created borders of newly established countries
after the civil war in 1990s resulted with an urgent need to create
ambience for sustainable water management. The project DIKTAS is
one of the first ever attempts to establish sustainable integrated
management principles in a transboundary karst aquifer of the
magnitude of the Dinaric Karst System. This volume presents
selected papers from the conference held in June 2014 in Trebinje,
Bosnia & Herzegovina including presentations of some of the
project's achievements but also number of other research results
conducted in karst environments worldwide.
