Compared to international studies, Brazilian karstology could be considered relatively new. Since the first studies of Peter W. Lund in 1833, the study of karst had developed slowly for at least 175 years. However, more significant are the speleological studies which deal with only part of the karst system. In Brazil, most of the scientific work on karst areas were produced in the 50’s and 90’s, continuing until today. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate the importance of karst to the conservation and rational use of karst waters resources through the study of the existing legal existing framework.
