This book contains papers presented at the 2010 meeting of the 4th International ISKA. It covers karst hydrogeology and investigations,  karst landscape and ecosystems, human interaction with karst environments, and engineering geology in karst areas.

Based on the first Symposium for the Management of Hydraulic Resources in Protected Areas, this volume presents advances in research and  possible solutions for water resource management in protected areas.

Written from the International Conference on Environment, this volume discusses strategies to minimize environmental threats. The need for interdisciplinary collaboration on a global scale is emphasized, and the book presents a step forward in this direction.

This book reviews a recent regional meeting convened to discuss effects of climate change on water resources, water and infrastructure, integrated water resource management and innovative solutions for the water problems of the Mediterranean region.
