As of April 2024, the MIKAS project involves 107 national experts who have agreed to voluntarily work on the project. Their expertise has so far helped evaluate more than 140 springs in 33 countries, and at the end of the process these experts will have covered more than 100 countries from all the continents. Some countries and regions such as Central Asia or the Caribbean are still lacking experts, but we expect the promotion of the project’s achievements to increase the number of “karst countries” and complete the list of experts.
