Karst is a German name for an unusual and distinct limestone terrain in Slovenia, called Kras. The karst region in Slovenia, located just north of the Adriatic Sea, is an area of barren, white, fretted rock. The main feature of a karst region is the...

Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite. Due to subterranean drainage, there may be very limited surface water, even to the absence of all...

Karst geology provides a more accurate water systems management technique than hydrology models because it allows more infiltration thereby connoting less runoff. Hence, existing hydrology models had to be adjusted to complement karst geology and its concomitant qualities such as its initial rainfall absorption...

The US Geological Survey topographic maps are a useful tool for tracing limestone deposits. This information is necessary for determining karst terrains and areas with abundant springs that connect with underground channels. All of the resources referred to in this article can be...
