Karst hydrology and physical speleology [electronic resource] / Alfred Bögli ; translated by June C. Schmid.
The present publication on karst hydrology and physical speleology combines two subjects which have up to now been treated separately. The two fields of knowledge have gone their separate ways, less as a result of differences in subject matter than of varying approaches. The focal point in karst hyd...
