Description :
Surface karst is believed to influence the qualitative and quantitative characterisric of the waters that feed aquifers. This paper focuses on the morphometry of some surface karst features and on their relations with groundwater resource conservation and management. The study area is in the Gran Sasso karst massif of central Italy. It is typical example of a Mediterranean hydrogeological system, consisting of Meso-Cenozoic carbonate and marly-silicoclastic sedimentary units that were involved in the Apennine thrust belt. - (NF)
