El Pandeño
El Pandeño hotspring, officially known as "San José de Pandos", is home to the endemic Julimes pupfish (''Cyprinodon julimes'') considered to be one of the freshwater teleosts that lives at the highest temperatures. This spring is about in size and located in the Rio Conchos Basin, Chihuahua, Mexico. It is among several springs impacted by increasing pumping that depletes the local groundwater supply. The spring and its aquatic wildlife are under the custody of local NGO Amigos del Pandeño, A.C. In November 30, 2013, an area of 368 ha (909 Acres) comprising a group of geothermal springs, including "El Pandeño" hotspring was nominated Ramsar site No. 2201: "Manantiales Geotermales de Julimes" (Geothermal Julimes Springs) by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands on the basis of the unique ecosystems present, and its endemic organisms, including the Julimes pupfish, the isopod ''Thermosphaeroma macrura ''Thermosphaeroma macrura'' is a species of isopod in the family Sphaeromat ...

Hotspring
A hot spring, hydrothermal spring, or geothermal spring is a spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater onto the surface of the Earth. The groundwater is heated either by shallow bodies of magma (molten rock) or by circulation through faults to hot rock deep in the Earth's crust. Hot spring water often contains large amounts of dissolved minerals. The chemistry of hot springs ranges from acid sulfate springs with a pH as low as 0.8, to alkaline chloride springs saturated with silica, to bicarbonate springs saturated with carbon dioxide and carbonate minerals. Some springs also contain abundant dissolved iron. The minerals brought to the surface in hot springs often feed communities of extremophiles, microorganisms adapted to extreme conditions, and it is possible that life on Earth had its origin in hot springs. Humans have made use of hot springs for bathing, relaxation, or medical therapy for thousands of years. However, some are hot enough that imm ...
