The Effect of Mining Activities on the Paleokarstic Features, Recent Karstic Features, and Karst Water of the Bakony Region (Hungary)

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This article is very interesting and shows very important effects on natural resources. But it does not have documented methodology and results. Paying attention to the following points will improve it. After the authors edit, I would like to review it again

1- The title or attention to the goal is not chosen correctly.

2- Results, materials and methods are not presented in the abstract.

3- Innovation should be presented in the introduction

4- The direct effects of mining have not been well explained

5- The methodology of the indirect effects section is not well explained

6- This article is more of a review article and it is better to present the methodology and written results section
