ABSTRACT
Any full and rigorous groundwater investigations, whether in karstic or non-karstic conditions, requires the application of more than one investigative method. However, the mix of methods used in karst areas may differ significantly from those commonly used where flow is laminar and diffuse and hence where Darcy’s law is applicable; in particular the combination of orthodox methods with those appropriate only to karst (speleological investigations for example). This chapter provides a summary of the methods described in this book together with a brief overview of the conjunctive use of methods to address particular karst groundwater problems.
