Résumé anglais Abstract. — With the recent discovery (1980-81) of the big underground system "BU56" ( — 1 338 m), the hydrogeology of the karst of " St.Georges" begins to be better known. This system represents 30-35% of the subterranean hydrology, that is to say a 2 mЗ/s cube (specific flow = 66-70 l/s/km2) against 5,64 mЗ/s cube in the principal efflux (Illamina). During the year, we observe an hydrologie regime with 2 maxima (spring, autumn-winter) and 2 minima (summer, winter). The importance of the chambers and galleries is the result of several processes: corrosion, collapses and faults on paleozoic substratum (shales), mecanic erosion of the underground rivers. The specific dissolution is about 95-100 mm/ 1000 years with 15-20% for the superficial corrosion, 40-45% for the first part of the deep corrosion (0-50 m) and 40% for the deep corrosion.
