Περιγραφή: This study proposes a new explanation connected with the existence of a marine current which creates a hydraulic gradient between the two sides of the island but with inflow being maintained by density flow. This made possible by a deep karstic conduit created during the Cenozoic period and which runs in the same direction as the marine current.
