Focusing specifically on the management of karst environments, this
volume draws together the world's leading karst experts to provide
a vital source for the study and management of this unique physical
setting. Although karst landscapes cover 12% of the Earth's terrain
and provide 25% of the world's drinking water, the resource
management of karst environments has only previously received
indirect attention. Through a comprehensive approach, Karst
Management focuses on engineering issues associated with surface
karst such as quarries, dams, and agriculture, subsurface topics
such as the management of groundwater, show caves, cave biota, and
geo-archaeology projects. Chapters that focus on karst as an
integrated system look at IUCN World Heritage sites, national
parks, policy and regulation, measuring systematic disturbance,
information management, and public environmental education. The
text incorporates the most up-to-date research from leading karst
scientists. This volume provides important perspectives for
university students, educators, geoengineers, resource managers,
and planners who are interested in or work with this unique
physical landscape.
