Conservation: The spring remains in good order, although I could notice a lower level than in my previous visit at the same time of the year. For several years, the local people have had a hard time trying to contain the unscrupulous water extraction in surrounding areas. We saw three water soft-shelled turtles Apalone spinifera at the place.
