Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="gwat12262-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p id="gwat12262-para-0001">For karstified aquifer systems, numerical models of groundwater flow are difficult to setup and parameterize. However, a system understanding useful for groundwater management may be obtained without applying overly complicated models. In this study, we demonstrate for a karstified carbonate aquifer in south‐western Germany that a combination of methods with moderate data requirements can be used to infer flowpaths and transit times of groundwater to production wells.</p> </abstract>
