We are at the top spring which gives 1.6 gallons per second or 96 gallons per hour. \u00a0WOW!<\/p>\n

Other than the CKC team and the WV personnel leading the visit you cannot see anything because the work is all underground. \u00a0The spring itself, actually several springs coming from the hill I’m standing on, seep into a catchment basin in the foreground of the picture. \u00a0The basin is a concrete structure which collects the water and allows the sand to settle out. \u00a0Two times per the basin has to be cleaned out through a clean out opening.<\/p>\n
