Abstract
On the basis of the characterization of the different karst subsystems (Soil/Epikarst—Unsaturated Zone—Saturated Zone) and mathematical models developed on specific sites, we propose an adjustable modeling platform of karst for both the simulation of spring discharge at outlets and the analysis of the hydrodynamics of the compartments considered in the model. This platform was developed within the framework of the KARST observatory network initiative from the INSU/CNRS, which aims to strengthen knowledge-sharing and promote cross-disciplinary research on karst systems at the national scale.
