Keterisi Mineral Vaucluse
Keterisi Mineral Vaucluse Natural Monument (Georgian: ქეტერისის მინერალური ვუკლუზი) is a cluster of powerful mineral water artesian aquifers pouring out at the foot of the Greater Caucasus, known as Narzan vaucluse. These mineral springs provide 25-30 million liters of hydrocarbonate-calcium water, which corresponds to 300-350 liters per second. From these sources originates stream, which creates water cascades in the village of Keterisi. [1][2][3]
