A water connection between Lake Stymphalia and spring Kefalari was already assumed in ancient times. According to a scientific study of Morfis et.al., dye tracing tests for Kefalari confirmed a water connection coming from the polje of Skafidia (a small polje belonging to the Feneos-Corintia-Complex and a water connection coming from the Argolis polje Alea/Skoteini to Kefalari. While the submarine karst spring at Kiveri (with its largest discharge at the Argolic Gulf) flows permanently, Kefalari's spring discharge varies between very much and nill (in the dry period). According to the Morfis study, the cave above the spring “corresponds to a former karst level”. After collecting the water of the Kiveri spring by a wall cage in 1972 and finishing a ca. 30 km long concrete irrigation channel for the “Plain of Argos”, Kefalari's spring got “additional water from the spring Kiveri. Until February 1983 the spring water also served as the drinking water supply in Argos. This is no longer possible, because of bad water quality.
