That underfit stream is a small stream that flows along a cave passage that was enlarged to its current size by an earlier, larger stream. commonly underfit streams are found flowing under vadose conditions along the floors of drained phreatic tubes, long abandoned by the phreatic flow that enlarged them. underfit streams may also occur if the major flow in a vadose streamway is captured to lower levels by the opening of a new shaft. the main flow no longer uses the downstream passages, leaving any tributaries to amalgamate as an underfit stream [9].?

Speleogenesis E-Books Collection

Speleogenesis E-Books Collection is a gateway to electronic versions of monographs, conference proceedings, open file reports and doctoral theses on karst hydrogeology and speleogenesis, that original publishers agreed to make freely accessible via this site.

Publications included in the collection are also referenced in the KarstBase bibliography system.

If you want to include an item to the Speleogenesis Ebooks Collection, please, submit a detailed bibliographic description (including abstract), a full-text PDF file and a permission for non-commercial free distribution, or a stable link to an original place from which a PDF can be downloaded.

Submissions should be sent to klim[at]speleogenesis.info

We encourage the members of the Speleogenesis Network to assist in the development of this resource.
