This gorge is foggy almost all year long. The air has a certian chill to it, and walking in the water for too long can bring on disease. The gorge provides fresh water, pure water that isn't tainted by the humans chemicals. The gorge was key in the Balta winning the war against the Tako, it provided a high area to look out and the cold water was a small barrier for the Balta. The strategic value is off the charts.
