东南亚的碳酸盐岩地区是全球热带-亚热带喀斯特发达地区的一部分，形成了富含水的含水层。由于喀斯特地貌的强烈发育，岩溶管道中的地下水流动迅速，容易受到各种环境问题的影响，包括石漠化和导致贫困的社会经济影响。该地区与喀斯特有关的数据稀少且分散。本研究以教科文组织赞助的国际岩溶研究中心(IRCK)培训班提供的信息以及出版的文献为基础，概述了东南亚岩溶水文地质数据和与水有关的环境问题，以期找到共同点，形成可推广到数据匮乏地区的普遍有效的、针对地区的概念，在这些地区，这些概念可作为各国政府管理岩溶环境的指南。根据地形的不同，将东南亚喀斯特地貌分为高原岩溶、山地岩溶、平原岩溶和海岛岩溶四种类型。利用这种方法对调查的岩溶进行了汇编和分类。IRCK培训讲习班的参加者分享的例子包括他们自己国家的喀斯特信息，其中大部分没有用英文出版。案例研究表明，东南亚喀斯特地区普遍反复遭受旱灾和洪涝灾害，造成环境制约和发展障碍。这些研究还表明，如果采取适当的管理措施，环境问题是可以解决的，可以实现可持续发展。
The carbonate areas of Southeast Asia are part of the global set of well-developed tropical-subtropical karst regions and form water-rich aquifers. Due to the strong development of karst features, groundwater in karst conduits flows rapidly and is susceptible to various environmental problems, including rocky desertification and socioeconomic impacts leading to poverty. Karst-related data for the region are scarce and scattered. Based on information contributed by training workshops of the International Research Center on Karst (IRCK) under the auspices of UNESCO, as well as published literature, this study summarizes karst hydrogeological data and waterrelated environmental issues in Southeast Asia, in an attempt to find commonality, and to form both generally valid and region-specific concepts that can be extended to data-deficient areas, where these concepts may serve as a guide for governments when managing the karst environment. Based on topographic differences, karst terrains in Southeast Asia were classified into four types: karst on plateaux, karst in mountains, karst in plains, and karst on islands. This approach was utilized to compile and classify the surveyed karsts. The examples shared by participants in the IRCK training workshops included karst information from their own countries, most of which have not been published in English. The case studies demonstrate that karst areas in Southeast Asia are widely and repeatedly exposed to droughts and floods, resulting in environmental constraints and development obstacles. These studies also show that environmental problems can be resolved and sustainable development can be achieved if appropriate management measures are taken.
