Summary

Description
Deutsch: Ostküste des Peloponnes, Küste des Argolischen Golfs und Ort einer Kette von Karstquellen ( „Küstenquellen“ und „submarine Quellen“).

Das Niederschlagswasser sinkt durch das hochgradig verkarstete Kalkgebirge des nordöstlichen Peloponnes (500-700 m) ins Karstgrundwasser. Unterschiedlich große, meist aber kleine Karstquellen fließen in abflusslose Becken (Poljen) und dort gleich wieder in Katavothren (pl., griechisch für Ponore), die über große Gänge (oder sogar Höhlen) mit ihrer Verkarstungsbasis („Grundwasservorfluter“), dem Meer, verbunden sind. Die gangartig weiten Wasserwege im Karst sind an den Küsten denen der Mittemeerküsten vergleichbar.

English: East coast of the Peloponnese, the Argolic Gulf and a chain of karst springs (coastal and submarine springs, beeing related to their natural water base level).

The karst water at sea level comes mainly from the karstified plateau (500 – 700 m) of the Northeast Peloponnese. Many small karst springs emerge in eight large and several smaller poljes (closed depressions). Their fresh water then collects in katavothres (pl., Greek for ponors) and flows through conduits to the karst base level “sea”. Conduits and karst springs at sea level may be compared with similar karst conditions at coasts of the Mediterranean Sea.
