Engineering and Hydrology

GIS is an effective tool that can be applied to all the unique aspects of karst engineering, geology, and hydrology, from permitting and compliance to construction, infrastructure management, and groundwater protection.

Geology and Karst Feature Distribution Map About this map

Sinkhole collapse and its effective mitigation begins with an understanding of the potential for these occurrences, and the ability to access and analyze information about karst features. Effective protection of groundwater resources in karst areas requires the incorporation of information from a variety of sources, and the ability to model the impacts of landuse activities and future planned and unplanned events.
