DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe limestone region of PR covers about 27% of the island1s surface and has karst features. The karst belt (KB), that part of the northern limestone with the most spectacular karst landforms, covering 65% of the northern limestone, is the focus here. Chapters: geography; features: geomorphological, hydrological, and ecological diversity; nat1l. resources; econ. importance: water, other minerals, ag., forestry, and environ. disturbances; history of intensive use; vulnerable to human activity: cutting vs. paved over forests, draining vs. filling wetlands, conversion vs. trans1n. of land uses, pumping vs. overdrafting aquifers, contaminating vs. poisoning ground water, and surface water pollution; and proposal for transferring KB to the public domain. Color photos.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book sheds new light on contaminant transport in karst aquifers and the public health implications of contaminated karst groundwater. The papers included were presented at a conference held in early 2016 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and range from lengthy reviews on contaminant transport mechanisms to short articles summarizing research findings. The conference addressed a variety of topics, such as contamination sources, the hydrogeology of contaminant transport, the storage and release of contaminants, and the health impacts as well as the epidemiology of contaminated water supplies drawn from karst aquifers, and gathered perspectives from experts in different disciplines, including hydrogeologists and public health specialists. Although there is a wealth of literature on specific instances of karst groundwater contamination, this book offers an integrated conceptual framework for the public health impacts of karst groundwater, making it a valuable resource for a broad interdisciplinary readership.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated. The first half of the book is a systematic presentation of the dissolution kinetics, chemical equilibria and physical flow laws relating to karst environments. It includes details of the many environmental factors that complicate their chemical evolution, with a critique of measurement of karst erosion rates. The second half of the book looks at the classification system for cave systems and the influence of climate and climatic change on karst development. The book ends with chapters on karst water resource management and a look at the important issues of environmental management, including environmental impact assessment, environmental rehabilitation, tourism impacts and conservation values. Practical application of karst studies are explained throughout the text. "This new edition strengthens the book's position as the essential reference in the field. Karst geoscientists will not dare to stray beyond arm's reach of this volume. It is certain to remain the professional standard for many decades." Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, August 2007
