“…However, actual transport can be broadly varied by the different timescales ranging from an event to seasonal and/or inter-annual timescales (e.g., Doummar et al, 2018;Luo et al, 2024;Remondi et al, 2018Remondi et al, , 2019Zhang et al, 2020a). As a matter of fact, the same shape for BTC might not actually be reproduced again if those particular conditions (both hydrological and physicochemical) at that particular timescale are not meet (e.g., Aydin et al, 2014;Chu et al, 2021;Kogovsek & Petric, 2014;Morales et al, 2007Morales et al, , 2018Ravbar et al, 2012, among others). Therefore, the system conceptualization is restricted to the certain timescales and might not properly represent the overall karst transport dynamics especially when the hydrological or (biogeo)chemical conditions change or vary temporarily.…”

Karst water resources are valuable freshwater sources for around 10 % of the world population. Nonetheless, anthropogenic factors and global changes have been seriously deteriorating the karst water quality and dependent ecosystems. Solute transport models are powerful tools to monitor, control, and manage the water quality and dependent ecosystem functioning. By representing and predicting the spatiotemporal behavior of solute migration in karst systems, the transport models enhance our understanding about the karst transport processes, thus enabling us to explore contamination risks and potential outcomes. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on the modelling of solute transport processes in karst aquifers, thereby unveiling the fundamental challenges underlying a successful karst transport modelling. We discuss to what extent and in what ways we can handle these challenges and derive the key challenges and directions for reliable modelling of transport processes in karst systems in the present context of global changes.
