Cheyenne Spring House, near the Navajo Spring and the Spa, was built in the 1890s of red sandstone. It is a soda spring. Like the Navajo Spring, it has a high overall mineral content, but not a high content of any specific mineral. The building was constructed by the Manitou Mineral Water company.
The geothermal spring that feeds the baths rises from about 1km below ground and produces about a million litres of water per day. The mineral water emerges at a steady 27°C / 80°F. Analysis of the water has indicated that it has a high magnesium content and that it originates from rainfall around 5,000 years ago (based upon its tritium ...
Hierve el Aqua (Spanish for "the water boils") is a set of natural travertine rock formations in San Lorenzo Albarradas, Oaxaca, Mexico that resemble cascades of water. [1] [2] The site is located about 70 km east of Oaxaca City, [3] and consists of two rock shelves or cliffs which rise between fifty and ninety metres from the valley below, from which extend nearly white rock formations which ...
The mineral water emerges at a steady 27°C (80°F). Analysis of the water has indicated that it has a high magnesium content and that it originated from rainwater from around 5,000 years ago. The same spring water is bottled and sold as Buxton Mineral Water. [1] [2] [3] Bronze lion spout of St Ann's Well
Mineral water is water from a mineral spring that contains various minerals, such as salts and sulfur compounds. It is usually still, but may be sparkling ( carbonated / effervescent ). Traditionally, mineral waters were used or consumed at their spring sources, often referred to as "taking the waters" or "taking the cure," at places such as ...
The geothermally heated water emerges from over thirty springs [1] at 356 °F (180 °C), and cool to between 198 °F (92 °C) and 150 °F (65 °C) at the surface. [2] [3] The mineral content includes analcime, anhydrite, calcite, calcium, chalcedony, lithium, magnesium, microcline, muscovite, sodium, sulfate, potassium, and quartz.
Anthony Relhan (c. 1715–1776), promoted the drinking of mineral waters and particularly water from the chalybeate spring in St Anne's Well Gardens, Hove and published A Short History of Brighthelmstone; with Remarks on its Air, an Analysis of its Waters, Particularly of an uncommon Mineral one, long discovered, though but lately used in 1761.

The springs supplied water to residents up to two miles away through hand-bored wooden pipes. [3] [4] [5] Lydia Moss Bradley had spring water supplied to her residence until her 1908 death. [3] [6] The springs were Peoria's primary water source for about 15 years, until the population grew and a new water source close to the Illinois River was ...
