Cross-Formational Flow, Diffluence And Transfluence Observed In St. Beatus Cave And Sieben Hengste (Switzerland), Philipp Häuselmann

International Journal of Speleology

Observations in St. Beatus Cave and neighbouring caves revealed complex water flowpaths that can be used for explaining the behaviour of tracing experiments. The observations prove that even in vadose conditions, cross-formational flow, diffluences and transfluences are a quite common feature. Therefore, also the vadose karst has a very complex organisation.
