Flowing from its source, deep under the great Maungatoka Mountain, it emerges sparkling and bubbling from its bed of white conglomerate, (a pure formation) at the Wai-Rongoa Medicinal Springs, North Taieri, Otago. Tlie large volume of '■ - natural gas it contains indicates that the water- comes under great pressure, and no matter what tlie season is, dry or wet, the quantity of water flowing never varies — it is believed to be j inexhaustible. The whole of the watershed has bei'ii jmivhase.l in oulei: to prevent the possibility of coiiLaiiiinationof the w<-lls, and it has I icon converted into a 'beautiful park under the constant care of a Limlscapc gardener.
