“…Potential evaporation is generally increasing from north to south and has an important impact on recharge rates as well, for instance in the Arabian Peninsula and the Alps. Mountain ranges are considered to be the water towers of the world (Viviroli et al, 2007). Here the MTN landscapes also show the largest recharge volumes due to the large precipitation volumes they receive, though with a considerable spread in our study.…”

“…The large extent of the phreatic zone for type 1 karst systems may have significant consequences on transport (Vaute et al, 1997;Motyka, 1998;Martin and Dean, 2001). The role of low permeability volumes will be more important in the case of aquifers having higher matrix hydraulic conductivity and effective porosity such as the simulated scenarios shown by Birk et al (2005Birk et al ( , 2006.…”

“…Understanding of flow through karst aquifers, and the chemical and isotopic composition of the water clearly have high social relevance because of the susceptibility of karst to contamination through rapid infiltration (e.g., Field, 1988;Zuber and Motyka, 1994;Boyer and Pasqarell, 1995;Vaute et al, 1997), and the impacts of karst processes on water resources. Fundamental karst processes such as karstification, speleogenesis, aquifer evolution, and sinkhole formation are all controlled by geochemical reactions (Dreybrodt, 1981;Beck, 1986;Palmer, 1991;Romanov et al, 2003;Gabrovsek et al, 2004).…”
