Characterization of groundwater reserves within a karst massif

What is it about?

The 3D hydrogeological model presented in this paper provides a synthetic, consistent and understandable visualization of the hydrogeological functioning of karst aquifers of the Trnovsko-Banjška planota. KARSYS approach was successfully applied in order to provide this overview as well as a hydrogeological documentation of karst systems in this region. The approach is useful for improving the management of karst water resources.

Why is it important?

A strength of the presented approach is to synthesize all existing data into a single iterative 3D model, leading to a visualization of the hydrogeological functioning of the aquifer. Resulting maps and 3D models can easily be understood not only by hydrogeologists, but also by environmental managers, administrators and other technical or non-technical staff.
