The Cevennes national Park (PnC) and the French Geological survey (BRGM) have worked together to study the karst groundwater resources of the Causse Méjean, France. This karstic plateau is made up of Jurassic carbonate sediments (Lias, Dogger, Malm). ). Except the liasic marls (Toarcian and the Domerian), it is made of limestones and dolomites that gives a typical karst landscape all over the Causse and its adjacent valleys
