Impact of climate change on groundwater point discharge: backflooding of karstic springs (Loiret, France)
Under certain hydrological conditions it is possible for spring flow in karst systems to be reversed. When this occurs, the resulting invasion by surface water, i.e. the backflooding, represents a serious threat to groundwater quality because the surface water could well be contaminated. Here we exa...
