I suspect you're right fulk, as long as they're all at Leck Beck Head level.
What intrigues me is that the sump in the upstream stuff in Witches Cave (below the Shuttleworth entrance) doesn't seem to rise by as much as Downstream Lancaster. This suggests another (as yet unexplored) restriction downtream of the known limit in the Lancaster sump. Or it may be accounted for by some of the Leck Fell water being able to escape up the shaft to Witches entrance if the Lancaster water enters the phreas further downstream of this point. (If this all seems a bit difficult to get one4's head round, take a look at the article/diagram about the sumps in the Witches 2 journal published in May last year.)
Of course the Lost Johns Sump isn't quite at Leck Beck Head level - remember that small cascade between the upstream and downstream sumps in Witches 2?
I've wondered whether the main development in the Lancaster sump (which is immense) actually emerges in Witches 2. If so, maybe the Lancaster water follows an immature route to Leck Beck Head from somewhere within the huge downstream sump, possibly accounting for the Lancaster sump pool rising by (evidently) a greater amount than Lost Johns, Gavel, Pooh's Revenge, Witches 2 etc.
