Abstract

Ground Water Management Book 10 of the Series Proceedings of the Third Conference on Hydrogeology, Ecology, Monitoring and Management of Ground Water in Karst Terranes, December 4-6, 1991, Maxwell House Clarion, Nashville, Tennessee. Abstract: The 1991 Karst Conference was comprised of 2 days of technical presentations and a day-long field trip. A total of 46 papers were presented at the meeting. Sessions were devoted to the following topis: Ground Water Modeling and Hydrogeology, Site Characterization, Geophysical and Other Techniques for Studying Karst Aquifers, Hydrogeology and Processes Occurring in Karst Aquifers, Case Histories, Ecology of Caves and Karst Terranes, Ground Water Monitoring, Emergency Response and Ground-Water Management, Ground Water Management. The meeting was co-sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Association of Ground Water Scientists and Engineers (a division of NGWA).
