| Abstract: | The present studies were carried out along the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, where most of the karst springs discharge
from highly karstified carbonate rocks. The case-study was applied in the Kaş-Kalkan karst region, considered one of the most
important touristic Mediterranean provinces in southern Turkey. The purpose of this study is to identify the main water resources
of the karst springs in the inland side and the expected groundwater flow paths that may recharge the coastal springs in the
study area. A comparison of the physiochemical properties and isotopic contents of the karst springs along the Kaş-Kalkan
coastline is also considered an important tool for identifying the hydrogeological characteristics and responses of the different
units in the study area. Relevant studies were carried out also considering the morphological and structural characteristics
of these karst springs and changes in their discharge amounts during the dry and wet periods.
