Karstic rivers are hydrogeologically conditioned to have spatial and seasonal changes in their discharge <ref>MEYER, A., E.I. MEYER & C. MEYER 2003. Lotic communities of two small temporary karstic stream systems (East Westphalia, Germany) along a longitudinal gradient of hydrological intermittency. Limnologica 33 (4): 271–279. </ref>. In the high plateau of Paderborn (Paderborner Hochfläche), the left tributary of the Lippe, Alme, itself and some of its tributaries are temporary rivers due to fluctuations of groundwater levels ([Hungerbrunnen]).

Projects:

• Preliminary sampling at the Menne
