Abstract: Conflicting views have been expressed about the hydrology of the catchment area to the east and west of Burrington Combe, mainly over the separation of the areas draining to Rickford and Langford resurgences and the amount of swallet water resurging at these two sites. The results of water tracing are examined and the discrepancies clarified by results from chemical analysis of water samples and hydrological analysis of flow records.
