| Abstract | The increasing pollution of our environment as deliberate or unintentional consequences of human activities has to a great extent spoiled sensitive karst ecosystems. This has led, for example, to distortions of landscapes, to soil erosion, to increased solution processes & to input of contaminants into the underground systems. Contents: Introduction; The historical perspective; Introduction & overview of human impacts; Agricultural induced impacts; Industrial & urban produced impacts; Extractive industries impact; Karst water exploitation; Conservations of karst terranes & karst waters: The future. |
