  • Repeated Dye Traces of Underground Streams in the Mendip Hills, Somerset
    47 Proc. Univ., Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1981. 16 (1). 47-58 REPEATED DYE TRACES OF UNDERGROUND STREAMS IN THE MENDIP HILLS. SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON and P. L. SMART ABSTRACT Three underground streams were dye traced as many as twenty-four times, at various Hows between the extremes of Hood and drought. This systematic study, the first of its kind to our knowledge, has shown that: 1. Travel time (the time between input of dye at the swallet and its first arrival at the resurgence) is inversely proportional (1:1) to mean resurgence outpul over the same period. This is characteristic of simple phreatie streams, which should be distinguishable using graphic analysis from vadose and complex phrcatic streams. 2. Rhodamine WT dye. the most stable of the common fluorescent dyes, Ls progress ively lost, to a significant and unpredictable extent, in transit from swallci to resurgence. Successful tracing therefore requires more dye at low flows than at high flows. BACKGROUND Water tracing in the Mendip caves has a long and distinguished history (Barrington and Stanton 1977, 209-213). The early experimenters, beginning at Wookey Hole Cave (ST 532.480) in 1860, used chaff, dyes or coloured powders, hoping for results visible to the naked eye. The modern phase of water tracing began in 1965 using the spores of a moss, Lycopodium clavatum, which were flushed down the swallets and caught at the resurgences in plankton nets. For the first time the tracing agent could not be detected by the unaided senses, and some attempt at quantitative analysis of results could be made (Atkinson, Drew and High 1967; Drew, Newson and Smith 1968).
