New Zealand

The article mentions New Zealand springs, but there is no link to a wikipedia article of those. What's our source, and does anyone know enough to start an article on these NZ springs? Michaël 22:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How Deep?

Anybody know how deep the spring is? Halcatalyst 20:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Circa 160 feet. Added. --RyanTee82 (talk) 03:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Native American people

It should be "many Native American people"or "many of the Native American peoples"; the way it is now doesn't make much sense. Preferably, we should mention which people or peoples precisely would have known about it, unless most did. FireWorks 20:52, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OH Stretch

The color of the azure water in the center of the pool results from the light-absorbing overtone of the OH stretch which is shifted to 698 nm by hydrogen bonding [1]

This highly specific, scientific information probably belongs in a different article. I think we can assume that most people reading about a spring aren't going to know what an OH stretch is, or that its overtone is shifted 698 nm by hydrogen bonding. We can have some reference to the scientific reason for its blue colour, but this won't do... FireWorks 21:06, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lifeforms

Do any lifeforms live in the spring? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Landon is the shiz (talk • contribs) 15:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Blue color of water?

The article states that there is an intrinsic color of water, which is not correct. The color of large bodies of water is due to reflection of Raleigh scattered light from the sky, not selective absorption of red light by water.

First and second?

The article says this is the third largest such pool in the world. What the first and second largest? They ought to be mentioned in the article.. Just a thought. --RyanTee82 (talk) 03:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
