Te Waikoropupū Springs

Te Waikoropupū Springs, also known as Pupu Springs and Waikaremumu Springs, are located near Tākaka in Golden Bay, in the Tasman District of the South Island of New Zealand. The springs are known for the exceptional clarity of the water, and the volume of water discharged. They are the largest cold–water springs in the Southern Hemisphere. The springs are spiritually significant to Māori people. The springs feed Te Waikoropupū River, a short tributary of the Tākaka River.

A water conservation order for Te Waikoropupū Springs and the Wharepapa Arthur Marble Aquifer was made in October 2023, giving them the highest level of legal protection for a body of water.
