| Abstract | Thermal waters are mainly SO4-Ca type, with high TDS, while cold waters are mostly SO4-Ca and HCO3-Ca type respectively. Hydrogeological parameters affecting spring waters include dissolution, hydrolysis and alteration. In the thermal waters, high Ca, Mg, Na and K interpreted to be due to leaching of cations in the rocks by water. High SO4 and high Ca+Mg and low Cl suggested a carbonate source with anhydrite. Chemical changes of the cold water samples were highly influenced by water-rock interaction. |
