The water emerges from the ground at 48.1 degrees C but quickly cools as it flows downstream.[1] A number of specially adapted species of fish live in these waters.

The flow rate of the Dalhousie Springs has been drastically reduced by humans sinking bores and wells into the aquifer, reducing the water pressure.[2]. It is estimated that the original flow of the Dalhousie Springs was about 158 liters per second, but is now only about 5 liters per second.[3]
