The Buda Thermal Karst (Budapest, Hungary) developed in the regional discharge zone of a carbonate rock aquifer system. High radioactivity of the spring waters has already been reported in 1912, but there has been no detailed study and no consistent explanation for its origin. In this area mixing of cold and hot karst waters was hitherto assigned to be responsible for cave formation. However, the ...<br/><br/>A Eross, J Madl-Szonyi, H Surbeck, A Horvathc, N Goldscheider, AE Csoma (2012) <i>Journal of Hydrology</i> : published online<br/>

About two hydrological years of continuous data of discharge, temperature, electrical conductivity and pH have been recorded at the Glarey spring in the Tsanfleuron glaciated karst area in the Swiss Alps, in order to understand how glaciated karst aquifer systems respond hydrochemically to diurnal and seasonal recharge variations, and how calcite dissolution by glacial meltwater contributes to the...<br/><br/>C Zeng, V Gremaud, H Zeng, Z Liu, N Goldscheider (2012) <i>Environmental Earth Sciences</i> : (published online)<br/>

Aquifers provide water, nutrients and energy with various patterns for many aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

Clastic sedimentary rocks are generally considered non-karstifiable and thus less vulnerable to pathogen contamination than karst aquifers. However, dissolution phenomena have been observed in clastic carbonate conglomerates of the Subalpine Molasse zone of the northern Alps and other regions of Europe, indicating karstification and high vulnerability, which is currently not considered for source ...<br/><br/>N Goeppert, N Goldscheider (2011) <i>Ground Water</i> 49: 1 77-84<br/>

Anomalous behaviour of specific electrical conductivity (SEC) was observed at a karst spring in Slovenia during 26 high-flow events in an 18-month monitoring period. A conceptual model explaining this anomalous SEC variability is presented and reproduced by numerical modelling, and the practical relevance for source protection zoning is discussed.

The Folded Molasse zone of the Northern Alps consists of clastic sedimentary rocks that are usually not considered to be karstifiable. However, large areas within this zone are composed of carbonatic conglomerates. Numerous karst landforms have recently been discovered but are not recorded on official maps and in the literature.

The Swiss Water Protection Ordinance not only defines microbiological and chemical water quality standards but also ecological goals for groundwater. The ordinance demands that biocenoses in groundwater should be in a “natural state adapted to the habitat” and “characteristic of groundwater that is not or only slightly polluted”. This was the starting point for the present study. The st...<br/><br/>D Hunkeler, N Goldscheider, P Rossi, C Burn (2006) :<br/>

The European COST action 620 proposed a comprehensive approach to karst groundwater protection, comprising methods of intrinsic and specific vulnerability mapping, validation of vulnerability maps, hazard and risk mapping. This paper presents the first application of all components of this Pan-European Approach to the Sierra de Líbar, a karst hydrogeology system in Andalusia, Spain.

This paper summarises seven years of hydrogeological research in the alpine karst system Hochifen-Gottesacker (Germany/Austria). Geologically, the site belongs to the Helvetic nappes and consists of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The Schrattenkalk limestone forms a relatively thin karst aquifer above or between thick marl aquicludes, forcing groundwater to flow parallel to the strata. The limestone...<br/><br/>Goldscheider N (2005) <i>Eclogae Geologicae Helvetiae</i> 98: 1 1-17<br/>

Groundwater from karst aquifers is an important drinking water resource, which is, however, particularly vulnerable to contamination. Karst aquifers consequently need special protection. This paper discusses the concept of groundwater vulnerability mapping and the special characteristics of karst aquifers that are relevant in this context. On this basis, a new method of groundwater vulnerability m...<br/><br/>Goldscheider N (2005) <i>Hydrogeology Journal, 13: 555-564</i> 13: 4 555-564<br/>

A groundwater vulnerability map was prepared for the Son La karst area, Vietnam, using an approach developed by the European COST action 620 on ‘vulnerability and risk mapping for the protection of carbonate (karst) areas’. It was necessary to adapt this approach to the local hydrogeological, climatic and economic conditions.

Carbonate terrains comprise one third of the land area of Europe. Karst aquifers hold important groundwater resources supplying up to 50% of drinking water in some countries.

Chlorinated solvents have been detected at low concentrations in some of the mineral and medicinal springs (spas) of Stuttgart since 1984. These springs discharge from a confined karst aquifer. In order to investigate both the properties of the aquifer and the mechanisms of contaminant trans port, two multi-tracer tests were carried out in 1998 and 1999.

Coarse-grained conglomerates, which predominantly consist of carbonate components in a carbonate matrix, make up significant parts of the Sub-Alpine Molasse zone at the northern margin of the Alps.

The drinking water for the city of Nürnberg in South Germany is partly extracted from the Upper Jurassic karst aquifer of the Franconian Alb. A groundwater resource vulnerability map using the PI method was created as a basis for land-use planning and protection zoning in the catchment of the drinking water sources.

Mass movements alter the internal structure of rock units and thereby often change their hydraulic characteristics.

Groundwater from karst aquifers is among the most important drinking water resource for humanity. About one quarter of the global population is supplied by karst waters. In some alpine countries, karst water con-tributes 50 % to the total drinking water supply and some cities in the alpine region are almost totally dependent on karst waters. At the same time, karst aquifers are particularly vulner...<br/><br/>Nico Goldscheider (2002) <br/>

A comparative tracer test between a swallow hole and two karst springs 1.0 and 2.2 km away using 10 different tracer substances made it possible to compare the transport behaviour of these tracers in karst aquifer.

Vulnerability maps are tools for land-use planning and protection zoning. However, different methods produce different results that are usually not validated and can consequently be contested. In the catchment of a karst spring in the Swiss Jura Mountains, a vulnerability map (EPIK) was validated with tracer tests.

The UV fluorescent dye Naphthionate is often used for groundwater tracing due to its favourable properties. As it is invisible in the water it was selected as a tracer for an experiment in the karstic catchment of the mineral springs of Stuttgart (Germany) where any risk of colouring had to be avoided.

The PI method is a GIS-based approach to mapping the vulnerability of groundwater to contamination with special consideration of karst aquifers.
