Short summary

Karst plays an important role in flash floods. This study is considered a step in the identification of flood-prone areas. High variations in the measured characteristics show that karst springs are critical in flash floods. Representative and organized sampling of water characteristics in Günyüzü basin, Eskişehir, Turkey, indicated that karst groundwater characteristics can be used for the classification of karst aquifers, regarding their contribution in generating flash floods.
