Important discussion on the Ford’s Four-State Model
An announcement of a recently published blog post of Derek Ford that provides a thorough review of arguments pro and contra for the Four-State model of cave genesis in the dimensions of length and depth, and invites an informal discussion.

A natural water course through which runoff reaches the sea [16].
internal drainage
Drainage in a closed basin and not reaching the sea [16]. It is common in maturely karsted terranes where surface water bodies are relatively nonexistent.
