>Yeah it has significant groundwater inflow (like 5L/s).

where did it say this? i did a double-take because the article says the opposite, and i checked the wikipedia and didnt see it there either. is there another source of info? or am i being blind?

Right, so it was sealed only in the biological sense, which makes sense since there needs to be an inflow of energy
