“…Monitoring the response of karstic aquifers to storms is one of the main techniques that has been applied. The bulk of the previous work on storm pulses in karstic aquifers can be grouped into those studies that analyze rainfall-spring discharge relations [e.g., Ashton, 1966;Brown, 1970;Knisel, 1972;Brown, 1973;Dreiss, 1982;Labat et al, 2000aLabat et al, , 2000bDenic-Jukic and Jukic, 2003;Panagopoulos and Lambrakis, 2006] and those studies that attempt to ascertain the properties of the aquifer through characterization of the hydrographs, sometimes complemented by chemographs or thermographs [e.g., Dreiss, 1983;Eisenlohr et al, 1997;Kiraly et al, 1995;Grasso and Jeannin, 2002;Grasso et al, 2003;Birk et al, 2004;Kovács et al, 2005;Birk et al, 2006].…”
