where does the blue lagoon water come from
nearby geothermal power plant Svartsengi
title: Blue Lagoon (geothermal spa) text: The water temperature in the bathing and swimming area of the lagoon averages . The Blue Lagoon also operates a research and development facility to help find cures for other skin ailments using the mineral-rich water. The lagoon is a man-made lagoon which is fed by the water output of the nearby geothermal power plant Svartsengi and is renewed every two days. It is the largest in the world. Superheated water is vented from the ground near a lava flow and used to run turbines that generate electricity. After going through the turbines, the steam and hot water passes through title: Ward's Reservoir text: Ward's Reservoir Ward's Reservoir (or Wards Reservoir), known locally as the Blue Lagoon, is a small reservoir close to the village of Belmont, Lancashire, England. It is in the West Pennine Moors north of Bolton. The reservoir did not supply drinking water but was built to supply water to Rycroft Works in the early 19th century. It was enlarged in 1893 by Deacons who used the water to supply Belmont Bleachworks. It holds 150,000 cubic metres of water, with a surface area of 28,000 square metres, when full. Most of the reservoir is only a few feet deep, but it title: Blue Nile text: Blue Nile The Blue Nile (Ge'ez: ጥቁር ዓባይ "Ṭiqūr ʿĀbbāy" (Black Abay) to Ethiopians; ; transliterated: an-Nīl al-Azraq) is a river originating at Lake Tana in Ethiopia. With the White Nile, it is one of the two major tributaries of the Nile. The Blue Nile supplies about 80% of the water in the Nile during the rainy season. The Blue Nile is so-called because floods during the summer monsoon erode a vast amount of fertile soil from the Ethiopian Highlands and carry it downstream as silt, turning the water dark brown or almost black. The distance of the river from title: Blue Lagoon (geothermal spa) text: into the water and a shower chair. There is also a private changing room available for those with special needs, complete with a roll-in shower. The rich mineral content is provided by the underground geological layers and pushed up to the surface by the hot water (at about pressure and temperature) used by the plant. Because of its mineral concentration, water cannot be recycled and must be disposed of in the nearby landscape, a permeable lava field that varies in thickness from to . The silicate minerals is the primary cause of that water's milky blue shade. After the minerals title: Blue Lagoon (geothermal spa) text: Blue Lagoon was used for the thermal spa scenes in the filming of "". It was also shown in the Incubus documentary "Look Alive", when the band visited Iceland, in the fifth cycle of "Britain's Next Top Model" which used as photoshoot location as well as Keeping up with the Kardashians. The Blue Lagoon is situated close to the world's first renewable methanol plant, which uses Carbon Recycling International's carbon dioxide to process methanol fuel. In 1976, a pool formed at the site from the waste water of the geothermal power plant that had just been built there. In 1981,
