This practical training guidebook makes an important contribution to
karst hydrogeology. It presents supporting material for academic courses
worldwide that include this and similar topics. It is an excellent
sourcebook for students and other attendees of the International Karst
School: Characterization and Engineering of Karst Aquifers, which opened
in Trebinje, Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2014 and which will be organized
every year in early summer.
As opposed to more theoretical works, this is a catalog of possible
engineering interventions in karst and their implications. Although the
majority of readers will be professionals with geology/hydrogeology
backgrounds, the language is not purely technical making it accessible
to a wider audience. This means that the methodology, case studies and
experiences presented will also benefit water managers working in karst
environments.
