Dear Eve,
I am not clear why you feel the sea is 'dead' - the waves indicate a
'living' body of circulating water - sub-artesian springs (to the best of
my belief there are no spouting springs in the UK?) empty into wells and
as far as I know you can see no 'bubbling' . The wonder of these springs
is that they kept flowing (though there were interruptions during drought
that affected some wells. Flowage was not affected in the Droitwich
brine springs even when fresh water wells were affected during a drought
in the 19th century.
