Geology

Contrary to popular belief, the spring is not a rise of the Lost River which surfaces approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Orangeville. Water emerging at Orangeville Rise comes from approximately 48 square miles (120 km2) of the highly karstified Mitchell Plain to the northeast. The spring fluctuates wildly in response to drought and rain events, with storm discharge appearing less than 24 hours following an event.

gollark: The issue isn't competing standards, really.
gollark: All we can do is watch as our ridiculously fast computers and networks grow ever slower with stacked layers of ridiculous hacks, as dependencies accrete and bizarre increasingly convoluted security problems come with them.
gollark: It could have been controlled, once. But now it's impossible to replace the decades upon decades of legacy design decisions.
