It is spring S715 in eruption <0.5m high. These began early am Monday 1st August and happen every 12-15 minutes, eruptions <0.5m high for <1 min with ~15 lps overflows.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Spring WL rose markedly during past two weeks and <100m away, at 16 Tarewa Road S657 Waikare Paumoana began overflows ~2 weeks ago. WLs all through west side of Kuirau Park around Tarewa springs have been rising and heating markedly in last 2-3 weeks.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe if geothermal WLs keep on heating and rising in Kuirau Park area  then perhaps additional fluid and heatflows may soon be able to supply both Kuirau Lake and Tarewa springs without further need to exchange functions? ie enough to provide all springs and keep themn all flowing?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway Kuirau Lake as yet does not show any detectable reduction in outflow or temperature, as used top happen in earlier episodes of geysering along western side of park. Last time S715 geysered was in May 1996 for two months, but then it played ~5m high every 20 minutes or so for ~a minute at a time.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ashley Cody</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
