| Abstract | Groundwater in mountainous karst regions is vital for regional water budgets and freshwater supply. Owing to increasing water demand and climate change, detailed knowledge of the highly heterogeneous alpine aquifer systems is required. Multi-tracer analyses have been conducted in the steep karstic Wetterstein Mountains, which includes Germany’s highest summit, Zugspitze (2,962 m asl). Results of artificial tracer tests demonstrate well-developed flow paths through the unsaturated zone (up to 1,000 m thickness). Flow paths cross topographic divides and contribute to deep drainage systems underneath alpine valleys. Cross-formational flow has been identified. Quantitative analysis of tailing-dominated breakthrough curves and stable isotopes ($^{18}$O) has enabled determination of the mean transit-time distribution. A fast-flow component with transit times between 3 and 13 days was found in karst conduits and open fissures, dependent on flow conditions. An intermediate-flow component, showing mean transit times of about 2.9–4.9 months, was found in well-drained fissures and fractures. A slow-flow component with mean transit times greater than 1 year is attributable to slow flow and low storage in the poorly drained fissures and rock matrix. The conceptual model enables a better understanding of drainage, water resources and vulnerability of the high-alpine karst system.Les eaux souterraines dans des régions montagneuses karstiques sont essentielles dans les bilans hydrologiques régionaux et pour l’approvisionnement en eau douce. En raison de la demande en eau croissante et du changement climatique, la connaissance détaillée des systèmes aquifères alpins, fortement hétérogènes, est indispensable. Des multi-traçages ont été réalisés dans les montagnes karstiques à pentes raides du Wetterstein, qui inclut le plus haut sommet de l’Allemagne, Zugspitze (2,962 m). Les résultats des traçages artificiels mettent en évidence des cheminements bien développés de l’eau souterraine dans la zone non saturée (jusqu’à 1,000 m d’épaisseur). Les cheminements de l’eau traversent des lignes de partages topographiques et contribuent à un drainage profond en dessous des vallées alpines. Des écoulements recoupant plusieurs formations ont été identifiés. Des analyses quantitatives des courbes de restitution dominées par des effets de trainées et des isotopes stables ($^{18}$O) ont permis la détermination de la distribution du temps de transit moyen. Une composante d’écoulement rapide, avec des temps de transit entre 3 et 13 jours selon les conditions de flux a été rencontrée dans les conduits karstiques et les fissures ouvertes. Une composante d’écoulement intermédiaire, avec un temps moyen de transit de l’ordre de 2.9–4.9 mois, a été identifiée dans les fractures et fissures bien drainées. Une composante d’écoulement lent, avec des temps de transit supérieurs à un an, est attribuable à un écoulement lent et un faible emmagasinement dans les fissures faiblement drainées et la matrice rocheuse. Le modèle conceptuel améliore la compréhension du drainage, des ressources en eau et de la vulnérabilité des systèmes karstiques alpins d’altitude.Grundwasser in alpinen Karstgebieten ist für den regionalen Wasserhaushalt und die Wasserversorgung wichtig. Aufgrund des zunehmenden Wasserbedarfs und der Klimaveränderungen ist eine umfassende Kenntnis der stark heterogenen alpinen Grundwassersysteme erforderlich. Untersuchungen mit mehreren Tracern wurden im steilen und verkarsteten Wettersteingebirge mit dem höchsten Berg Deutschlands, der Zugspitze (2,962 m), durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse mit künstlichen Tracern zeigen, dass gut entwickelte Fließwege durch die ungesättigte Zone vorliegen (bis zu 1,000 m Mächtigkeit). Fließwege queren topographische Wasserscheiden und tragen zu tiefen Entwässerungssystemen unter hochalpinen Tälern hindurch bei. Eine Entwässerung durch stratigraphische Einheiten wurde nachgewiesen. Die quantitative Auswertung der tailing-dominierten Durchgangskurven und der stabilen Isotope ($^{18}$O) ermöglichte die Bestimmung mittlerer Verweilzeiten. Eine schnelle Fließkomponente mit Verweilzeiten von 3 bis 13 Tagen wurde in Karströhren und offenen Klüften nachgewiesen; diese ist stark von den hydrologischen Abflussverhältnissen abhängig. Eine intermediäre Fließkomponente mit Verweilzeiten von 2.9 bis 4.9 Monaten wurde in hydraulisch gut vernetzen Klüften und Spalten vorgefunden. Eine langsame Fließkomponente mit Verweilzeiten von mehr als einem Jahr kann auf langsame Grundwasserströmung und Speicherung in schlecht vernetzten Klüften und Gesteinsmatrix zurückgeführt werden. Das konzeptionelle Modell ermöglicht ein besseres Verständnis der Entwässerung, der Wasserresourcen und der Verletzlichkeit des hochalpinen Karstsystems.El agua subterránea en regiones montañosas kársticas es vital para los balances regionales de agua y para el abastecimiento de agua dulce. Debido a la creciente demanda de agua y al cambio climático se requiere un conocimiento detallado de los sistemas acuíferos alpinos altamente heterogéneos. Se han realizado análisis de multitrazadores en las empinadas montañas kársticas de Wetterstein, lo cual incluye a la cumbre más alta de Alemania, Zugspitze (2,962 m snm). Los resultados de los ensayos de trazadores artificiales demuestran trayectorias de flujo bien desarrolladas a través de la zona no saturada (hasta 1,000 m de espesor). Las trayectorias de flujo atraviesan las divisorias topográficas y contribuyen al sistemas de drenaje profundo que subyace a los valles alpinos. Se identificaron los flujos a través de las formaciones. Los análisis cuantitativos de curvas de ruptura dominados por su parte posterior y de isotopos estables ($^{18}$O) han permitido la determinación de la distribución del tiempo de tránsito medio. Se encontró una componente de flujo rápido con tiempos de tránsito entre 3 y 13 días en los conductos kársticos y fisuras abiertas, dependiendo de las condiciones de flujo. Se encontró una componente de flujo intermedio, con un tiempo de tránsito medio entre 2.9 y 4.9 meses, en las fisuras y fracturas bien drenadas. Una componente de flujo lento con tiempos de tránsito medio mayor que un año es atribuible al flujo lento y al almacenamiento bajo en las fisuras pobremente drenadas y en la matriz de la roca. El modelo conceptual permite un mejor entendimiento del drenaje, los recursos de agua y la vulnerabilidad del sistema kárstico alto alpino.高山岩溶地区的地下水对区域水平衡和淡水供水至关重要。由于用水需求增加及气候变化,需要详细了解高度多样化的阿尔卑斯山含水层系统。在陡峭的岩溶韦特施泰因山脉,包括德国最高山Zugspitze峰 (2,962米),进行了多示踪剂分析。水流通道穿过地形分水岭,有助于阿尔卑斯山山谷之下的深部排水系统。确定了横跨地层的水流。拖尾主导的突破曲线和稳定同位素 ($^{18}$O) 定量分析能够确定平均渡越时间分布。在岩溶通道和开放缝隙中发现存在着渡越时间为3到13天的快速水流成分,时间长短取决于水流条件。在水系发育的裂隙和断裂中发现中速水流成分,平均渡越时间为2.9到4.9个月。平均渡越时间大于一年的慢速水流成分是由排水不畅的裂隙和岩石基体内缓慢的水流和低存储量造成的。概念模型能够使人们更好地了解阿尔卑斯山岩溶系统的排水、水资源和脆弱性等情况。A água subterrânea em regiões cársicas montanhosas é vital para os balanços hídricos regionais e o abastecimento de água doce.
