Book excerpt: The 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 or read book Coastal Karst Landforms written by Michael J. Lace and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbonate rock coasts are found world-wide, from continental shorelines of the Adriatic Sea of Europe to the Yucatan Peninsula of North America, and on tropical islands from Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean, to the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean, to the Bahama Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Such coasts are well known for their unusual and distinctive karst landforms. Karst processes, particularly those associated with coastal landforms, are proving to be surprisingly unique and complex. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of the processes associated with coastal karst development comparing examples from a broad geographical and geomorphological range of island and continental shoreline/paleoshoreline settings, including a review of pseudokarst processes that can compete with and overprint dynamic coastal karst landscapes. As effective management of hydrologic resources grows more complex, coastal caves and karst represent fundamental components in associated coastal aquifers, which in the rock record can also form significant petroleum reservoirs. Audience By providing a clearer understanding of the geological, biological, archaeological and cultural value of coastal caves and karst resources, this volume offers a critical tool to coastal researchers and geoscientists in related fields and to coastal land managers as it illustrates the diversity of coastal karst landforms, the unique processes which formed them, the diversity of resources they harbor and their relationship to coastal zone preservation strategies and the development of sustainable management approaches.

Download or read book Karst Groundwater Contamination and Public Health written by William B. White and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 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.
