Hidden Waters: The story of disappearing and endangered springs in North America
Archaeological evidence of Paleo-Indigenous settlements near the spring date from 5,000 years ago. Tecopa Hot Springs is a remnant of an early Ice Age lake, roughly 2 million years ago. When the climate became dryer and hotter isolated islands of water remained along with an ancestral Desert Pupfish. Today the Tecopa Pupfish is an endangered species. Located, on the historic ‘Old Spanish Trail’ going from New Mexico to California. the springs are mentioned as a destination in the Prairie Traveler: The 1859 Handbook for Westbound Pioneers. Critically endangered due to drought, development and climate change, Tecopa Hot Springs is a popular tourist destination for people wanting to soak in its 116-degree waters. Human overuse plus plans for a large photovoltaic power plant, and the increasing domestic water needs of the nearby city of Pahrump threaten the life span of these ancient springs and their unique wildlife.
