Kentucky Karst System Sinkhole Response
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
Source: Louisville Public Media
Following record-breaking rainfall, Kentucky's karst landscape is overwhelmed, leading to an increase in sinkholes. The city of Bowling Green has reported at least 18 new sinkholes due to the storm system that dropped over ten inches of rain in a short period. Geologists warn that the situation may worsen as the natural drainage system struggles to cope with the excess water.
