%X Patterns and tourist activities induced by the underground rivers and lakes in the Arie  basin upstream of Buru ¨C The presence of carbonate deposits in the Arie  basin, upstream of Buru induced certain organization of groundwater resources. Depending on local genetic factors ¨C geological, climatic, biotic, temporal, etc ¨C the extension and characteristics of karst aquifers engenders exploitable hydro units in terms of tourism: underground rivers and lakes. Identification and analysis of morphometrical, morphological, quantitative, qualitative, dynamic and biotic characteristics have provided the approach to ranking the hydro entities. Forms and tourism activities are subsumed to the established typological categories: recreational and pleasure tourism and multipurpose tourism.
