This study presents an overview of hydrogeological processes and concepts regarding groundwater flow and contaminant transport in karstic systems and a short discussion on surface water and groundwater interaction. It also reviews different approaches that have been developed by researchers to investigate and understand hydrogeological processes and groundwater behavior in karst aquifers. Groundwater contamination issues and the most common and effective remediation techniques in karstic terrains are discussed, and modeling techniques and remote sensing methods as beneficial and powerful tools for assessing groundwater flow and contaminant transport in karst terrains are evaluated. In each section, relevant research works conducted for Puerto Rico are discussed and some recommendations are presented to complement the ongoing hydrogeological investigations on this island.
