Classification is messy[edit]

"Many karst springs dry up during the driest part of the year, and are thus known as intermittent springs."

Not so.

The classification into perennial – rhythmic/intermittent – temporary is not addressed at all under "Types"; I have added these terms w/o a source, no time for more, needs work. Only the rhythmic/intermittent type is dealt with, poorly, in the next paragraph, "Hydrological features". But there there's a confusion between rhythmic/intermittent and temporary: rhythmic springs have relatively regular sequences (burst - pause), temporary or maybe seasonal ones (there must be an English terminology out there) are running dry for longer periods.

There isn't much on the hydrology either, mainly re. rhythmicity (syphons, speed of rock penetration) in the context of karst phenomena. This has little to do with seasonal variation in precipitation (rain, snow). Arminden (talk) 08:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
