Inside the water pool, tourists can see the ornamental fish and the base of the pond. The water in this garden is very clear and cool, because the pond water comes from springs instead of water processed. The spring in Tirtagangga garden by local people is considered holy water.

Mata Rejasa Water has a very large amount of water, clear and soothing. One-third of Rejasa's supply of springs is sent to people's homes in Amlapura City (the capital of Karangasem) and two-thirds are used to fill the ponds and the output from pond water is directly used for agriculture.

The author had tried to swim in Tirta Gangga water pool, the water is very cool and clear. It feels completely different from swimming in a man-made pool.
