F.13 Development of new production methods and tools or processes
COBISS.SI-ID: 24828711A good knowledge of the natural and cultural heritage of karst is a precondition for the rational planning of life on it. We try to organize the knowledge to make it as useful as possible for planners. We are involved in individual projects related to the development and protection of the natural and cultural heritage of karst areas, regional planning, water supply systems, the construction of transportation infrastructure, the closure of dump sites in karst areas, the collection of data on karst caves and their protection, karst ecology and determining the extent of human influence on the karst underground, and planning and monitoring the exploitation of karst phenomena for tourism. A new book series Karstology and development challenges on karst was designed to present the results of completed and new projects to a broader public. The first book with the subtitle Water contains selected directly applicable research studies on karst waters, their importance, characteristics, endangerment, and protection. In the next books other research fields will be presented in more detail.
