sump

From Underfoot

Q286899




A sump, or siphon, is a passage in a cave that is submerged under water. A sump may be static, with no inward or outward flow, or active, with continuous through-flow. Static sumps may also be connected underwater to an active stream passage. When short in length, a sump may be called a duck; however, this can also refer to a section or passage with some (minimal) airspace above the water.
