People have depended on the hot springs at Agua Caliente Park for farming and survival from as long as 5,500 years ago. The flow there at one time measured 500 gallons per minute, was 9 gallons per minute in summer 2006, and now is reportedly unmeasurable. Flow depends heavily on precipitation from year to year. This made for a nice afternoon visit, and ended up reminding us of our impact on the world.
