The WL peak of the epikarstic spring and the main spring occurred 7 and 12 h after the first rainfall peak, respectively. The EC response at the epikarstic spring showed a fast decrease when WL increased, followed by a fast return close to equilibrium. 5 and 10 h after the first rainfall peak, respectively. It is interesting to note that the EC signal at the karst outlet showed, on the contrary to the Fourbanne site, first a small positive peak prior to strong dilution. This positive peak was well correlated with the increase of WL and Turb.

Point GAS (-191 m) has an intermediate flow behaviour according to BarbelPerineau (2013). The linear rainfall-discharge relationship is not significative for the 2005–2006 time series, and strong for the 2011–2012 time series (the maximum of the cross-correlation being reached for a lag time lower than 6 days). The absence of reactivity of this point for the 2005–2006 year may be due to the lack of connectivity in the upward rock cover. The Fontaine de Vaucluse spring shows a significative linear component of the rainfall-discharge relationship for both 2005-2006 and 2011-2012 time series, but with a shift in the cross-correlation maximum from 60 days lag time (20052006) to 8 days lag time (2011-2012) and an increase in the absolute value of the cross-correlation maximum.

Approximated by the study of mass transfers. The aim of this paper is to estimate degree of karstification using SIc–Pco2 method (Peyraube 2012), which has not been used to characterize it. Three karstic systems, whose recharge areas are the same size, are considered (Fig. 1): Notre Dame des Anges, Font Marin and Groseau. These springs are situated around the catchment area of the karstic system of Fontaine de Vaucluse. Notre Dame des Anges and Font Marin springs belong to Vauclusian-karstic systems.
