Abstract
Karst hydrology is dominated by limited surface runoff, which represented the main problem faced by man from the first historical phases of settlements. Man was however able to develop techniques to collect the available water resources, and adapted his way of life to the karst environment, reaching a sustainable use of the water resources. In the last centuries attention paid by man to the need of the environment has dramatically changed, with immediate negative consequences. Several anthropogenic actions have caused heavy changes in the natural landscape, with effects as increased erosion and flash floods.File in questo prodotto:
