Carbonate (karst) terrains comprise one third of the land area of Europe. Karst aquifers hold important groundwater resources supplying up to 50 % of drinking water in some countries. At the same time, karst aquifers are particularly vulnerable to contamination. Therefore, COST Action 620 (see http://cost.cordis.lu/src/whatiscost.cfm) was established to develop an approach for the protection of karst groundwater, which takes into account the characteristics of karst, but which can, however, also be used for other aquifer types. The project was given impetus by the European Water Framework Directive, which provides a common framework for water resource policy and management. This final report presents the results of surveys made in 12 Test Sites in 8 European countries, by specialists from several disciplines including hydrogeology, karst geomorphology, environmental chemistry and microbiology. It is subdivided in two parts. Part A presents the new approaches that were commonly developed by the Working Groups of COST Action 620. Part A consists in 7 chapters : Introduction, Groundwater Vulnerability, Intrinsic Vulnerability, Specific Vulnerability, Hazard Mapping, Risk Assessment, and Data Collection and Validation. Part B presents Methods and Applications that were worked out by the various research teams that contributed to the Action.
