Abstract
The article shows the empirical dependence between the cavern volume filled with water and infiltration capacity. This dependence makes it possible to estimate how karst influences infiltration capacity and run-off and water balance as well.
Highlights
The main problem in studying karst influence on hydrological parameters is heterogeneity of karst areas.Many scientists investigated how karst influences run-off
Among other parameters this model includes R0 – depth of absorption in closed depressions after the period of water formation. This will be used later to evaluate the influence of karst on infiltration, run-off and water balance
The method of calculation of depth of absorption R0 is described in the work [5] and uses the geomorphologic factor Ɏ [7], which is the ratio of slope length of the catchment area l to the square root of watershed slope Iɜɨɞ
Summary
The main problem in studying karst influence on hydrological parameters is heterogeneity of karst areas. Many scientists investigated how karst influences run-off. The work [1] is based on studying karst influence on minimum run-off. Increasing or decreasing minimum run-off in karst rivers in comparison with the rivers without karst is a consequence of karst influence on run-off. The work [2] made a significant contribution to karst studies suggesting and defining four main eras of reservoir rock development throughout the hydrogeological history of Earth: fractured, pored, karstic and anthropogenic. Many Cuban scientists investigate the problems of karst: [3], [4] and others
