%X A guide to the hydrogeology, geomorphology and conservation of Britain's limestone regions
%X 
This guidebook was compiled to mark the occasion of a joint meeting in Britain of the IGU Commission on Environmental Changes and Conservation in Karst Areas, the Karst Commission of the International Association of Hydrologists and a UNESCO International Geological Correlation Programme.
%X Limestone and karstic environments are important in England (and to a lesser extent elsewhere in Britain) because much of the groundwater supply of Eastern and southern England is drawn from limestone aquifers.
%X The book consists of six reviews. Two present a broad background to the varied geomorphology and hydrology of Great Britain; three discuss the Carboniferous, Jurassic and Cretaceous (chalk) limestone environments, and a final review discusses some minor carbonate formations. A list of references is included.
