Water scarcity, especially in the hydrologically critical part of the year, is a problem often present in many cities and regions, particularly in arid and sub-arid areas. Climate change and human water demand compound the problem. This paper discusses a climate change adaptation measure-the possibility of karst spring overexploitation, where there is a siphon-shaped cavity inside the mountain. The pilot area is near the city of Niš, where a decreasing precipitation trend has already been observed and is expected to continue in the future. The paper also presents some basic information related to the pilot area and undertaken investigations. The project, successfully implemented in 2004, has provided the city of Niš with an additional amount of 200 l/s of spring water during the most critical part of the year.
水资源短缺，尤其是在一年中水资源最关键的时期，是许多城市和地区经常面临的问题，尤其是在干旱和半干旱地区。气候变化和人类对水资源的需求使问题更加复杂。本文讨论了一项适应气候变化的措施——利用山区内虹吸状洞穴过度开采岩溶泉水的可能性。试点地区位于尼什市附近，那里已经观察到降水趋势下降，并预计未来还将继续。本文还介绍了与试点地区相关的一些基本信息和已进行的调查。该项目于 2004 年成功实施，为尼什市在一年中最关键的时期提供了额外的 200 升/秒的泉水。
