The Karst Waters Institute (KWI) is a non-profit institution whose mission is to improve the fundamental understanding of karst water systems through sound scientific research and the education of professionals and the public. The result will be increased knowledge of the need for as well as the more effective management of this vital water resource. The institute is governed by a Board of Directors and does not have or issue memberships. Institute activities include the initiation, coordination, and conduct of research, the sponsorship of conferences and workshops, and occasional publication of scientific works. KWI supports these activities by acting as a coordinating agency for funding and personnel, but does not supply direct funding or grants to individual researchers.
KWI Publications
KWI publications include abstracts, proceedings, and field trip
guides from Institute sponsored symposia, results of Institute
research, and digital reprints of books and journals. There are
two publication series, Special Publications (blue series) and
Digital Reprints (green series). Because some of the KWI Special
Publications are now out-of-print, these publications are available
in their entirety on CD-ROM in Portable Document Format (PDF).
