Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Broadlands is a geothermal area in the Taupō volcanic zone of New Zealand's North Island, where siliceous hydrothermal water surfaces from the extraordinarily productive geothermal system that underlies the Waikato-Taupō region — one of the world's most intense geothermal zones, responsible for dramatic eruptions and ongoing volcanic activity. The Broadlands area has been developed for commercial geothermal electricity generation, harnessing the same geological energy that produces the hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles of the Rotorua district. New Zealand's remarkable geothermal heritage, rooted in the Māori culture's millennia-long use of geothermal water for cooking, healing, and spiritual purposes, gives even the more commercially developed geothermal sites like Broadlands a profound cultural significance.
