Summary

The groundwater flow through karstic limestone formations cannot be expressed by the known conventional relationships for groundwater flow.

The object of this study is to derive some relationships for the groundwater flow by a systems approach for these kinds of karstic regions.

Water level observations of the natural or artificial reservoirs can be considered as inputs, while discharges from springs around these reservoirs can be considered as outputs of the mathematical model.

Résumé

Pour les régimes karstiques liés aux roches calcaires, l'écoulement de l'eau ne peut être exprimé à l'aide des relations classiques développées pour les eaux souterraines.

Le but de ce travail est d'exprimer les relations de l'écoulement des eaux souterraines dans le cadre d'une., approche systématique.

Les observations sur le niveau des réservoirs, naturels ou artificiels sont utilisées comme entrées du modèle, tandis que les décharges des sources en relation avec ces réservoirs sont considérées comme sorties du modèle mathématique pour les régions karstiques.
