The name for Dilemma Geyser came from the fact that the two vents of this geyser are surrounded by distinct run-off channels that couldn't be explained by the tiny eruptions that the geyser had prior to 1989.

The water expelled by the geyser was black with rocks and mud from the surrounding terrain, so the indigenous Māori people named the geyser Waimangu, meaning ' Black Waters '.

The ground water near the geyser has significant quantities of dissolved carbon dioxide, along with substantial underground gas accumulations in the surrounding area.

The area surrounding the modern geyser is covered in a thick layer of orange travertine.

The geyser has not erupted since June 2009, possibly in part because of controversial nearby geothermal development by the Town of Lakeview to supply the Warner Creek Correctional Facility with water for heating., Additional development of the site for geothermal power generation purposes may further threaten the hot springs.

Generally all geyser field sites are located near active volcanic areas, and the geyser effect is due to the proximity of magma.

A geyser's eruptive activity may change or cease due to ongoing mineral deposition within the geyser plumbing, exchange of functions with nearby hot springs, earthquake influences, and human intervention.

: The heat needed for geyser formation comes from magma that needs to be near the surface of the earth.

: The water that is ejected from a geyser must travel underground through deep, pressurized fissures in the Earth's crust.

: In order for the heated water to form a geyser, a plumbing system is required.

After an oil drilling operation in 1903 in Dexter, Kansas, produced a gas geyser that would not burn, Kansas state geologist Erasmus Haworth collected samples of the escaping gas and took them back to the University of Kansas at Lawrence where, with the help of chemists Hamilton Cady and David McFarland, he discovered that the gas consisted of, by volume, 72 % nitrogen, 15 % methane ( a combustible percentage only with sufficient oxygen ), 1 % hydrogen, and 12 % an unidentifiable gas.
