Hydrological connectivity from causal analysis of time series in the Lhomme Karst System, Belgium

The hydrological behaviour of karstic systems is difficult to theorize holistically because of their specific heterogeneities leading to distinctive nonlinear processes. Karstified systems present great opportunities for field exploration and hydrogeological monitoring of the vadose zone through its network of caves and conduits. These unique but explorable environments are predisposed to an inductive scientific approach where transfer processes associated with hydrological connections are directly inferred from the data. This is done conventionally using dye tracing from which connections and... Mehr ...
