Monitoring data and existing information in Croatia

Progress in karst hydrology and hydrogeology is limited by a lack of data. In karst terrains processes are highly variable in space and time, and this variability exists at all scales. Data collection over a large range of scales is difficult and expensive. At the same time there is a growing tendency to minimise fieldwork in karst hydrology and hydrogeology. Investors realise that time is money and there is no more time-consuming process than fieldwork. As a result, especially karst hydrologists and hydrogeologists are asked to solve problems with computer models, remote sensing etc, rather than by direct field observations. This could be very dangerous intention.
