Salmona Spring, Saligao
14.6.2016
From the main road, take inside very narrow road about 1.5km.
The road ends at the spring. You will see some old houses as well as new bungalows of non-Goans may be of bollywood actors etc
Locals say they don't come here to have bath (Except for washing clothes and vehicles) as they fear that the spring is polluted due to the huge garbage dump uphill (like sonsodo, where new garbage treatment plant has come up now?) about 300mts away from the spring.
However, it seems some picnickers do visit here as can be seen from the garbage heap including beer, whisky bottles etc

Merces Spring

Magsaysay award winner Dr. Rajendra Singh has said that Merces
natural spring is one of the best natural water springs in Goa and
should not be spoiled at any cost (April 2003)

In his touching speech Dr. Rajendra Singh urged the Goans and local
people to save this type of natural water resources. The yatra meeting
concluded by shouting slogans like amkam zai, amkam zai, amchi zhor
amkam zai, sodchena re sodchena, sarki kelea xivai sodchena.

Curca spring
There are two springs close to each other
One can get here either Panaji -Bambolim - Siridao Road
or Panaji - Merces - Bambolim - Curca road
Then take road going towards Curca Church and ask anyone 'Curca Spring' or 'Curca Zor' (sound Curca = KURKA)
There is a Temple of Mahadev and from the end of the road about 5 minutes uphill walking involved, Spring 2 is about 2 minutes away from Spring 1
In the vicinity, we spotted several ancient structures or stone walls remains, don't know what existed here in the past. Check out various pics

There is another spring at Maina Pilerne in pvt property of Hindu Bhatji?
We attempted to visit there but were discouraged by the Bhat house saying there is nothing left to see or polluted due to industrial waste etc. It is located deep inside the Areca nuts plantations.
Next to the Bhat house there is a Dhobi / Laundry, saw lot of hospital linen / uniform on the clothes line , also saw ironing
