Does this have any impact on local caves?

For comparison, Watergrove Sough is ~660' and Carlswark Resurgence is ~570'
Yes it does flow, and maintains a steady elevation throughout as there are very few sections of interuption in the water. Mostly like this all the way from Stoney to Eyam...AndyF said:I've never seen the Moorwood tail... I assume it still "flows". I think it was maintained when Glebe was still active.
Yes, AFAIK...martinb said:Is that the Tail of Watergrove Sough at 660'?
I don't think a couple extra cubes a minute will make much difference, i'd imagine it'd be measured in cubes per second today!martinb said:Me and couple of mates were going to have a dig at the branch in Watergrove - but if there's going to be a lot more water coming down, I don't think we'll bother!
Mind you - if there's a LOT more water it may pop the choke up there!

Standing, it's mostely quite a sizable passage, as shown in this photo:martinb said:Is that person standing up in the sough or kneeling?
