On Gologone is a karst spring located in Sardinia.
To know
A short stream originates from the source which feeds the Cedrino river. The water comes out of a crack in the limestone rock, which goes underground to the depth currently explored by speleologists of 135 meters. The maximum lean flow rate of the spring was measured in 1995 at 60 liters per second while the full flow rate is estimated at 8,000 liters. With an average flow rate of 500 liters of water per second, it is the most important spring in Sardinia.
