Abstract
Records show the effects of rainfall, the seasonal drift and the rhythmic daily fluctuation for 1928-1930. A series of automatic water level recorders are described and their records given. By the use of insert phytometers, transpiration is shown to be considerable and to be responsible for a fall in the fen water level during the day. There is some recovery of level during the night.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
