Abstract Changbai Mountain area in China is an important mineral water storage and development area. The hydrochemical composition of mineral water is the decisive factor for mineral-water quality. Therefore, it is necessary to study the hydrochemical characteristics and genesis of mineral water in Changbai Mountain area. Considering the integrity of basin and groundwater system, the study area was classified into three areas where mineral springs are densely distributed. For these areas, according to the mineral water parameter contents, the springs are further classified into single-type (metasilicic acid) mineral spring and compound mineral spring. By examining 74 mineral water samples collected from 2018 to 2020, the characteristics and formation mechanism of the hydrochemical components of the spring water were analyzed by mathematical statistics, model construction, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis. The results show that the formation of single-type mineral spring is controlled by rock weathering; compound mineral springs are the product of CO2-rich, weakly acidic, confined hot groundwater with high salinity and its mixing with shallow groundwater as it rises along the fracture. Volcanic geological process greatly influence the formation of the hydrochemical components of mineral springs on the North slope of Changbai Mountain. The mineral springs on the Longgang Mountain are greatly affected by human activities. The results of cluster analysis only considering hydrochemical components are consistent with the classification of the areas with concentrated distributions of mineral springs as determined by hydrogeological and geomorphological studies. The results of this study are useful for understanding the distribution, hydrochemical characteristics, and formation mechanism of mineral springs in Changbai Mountain area of China and provide the theoretical basis for the protection and development of mineral spring water.

Changbai Mountain is the source region of Songhua River, Tumen River and Yalu River. It is a famous concentrated distribution area of high quality mineral water in China, which has great economic value. Antu County is one of the main distribution areas of basalt and mineral water in Changbai Mountain. The distribution of mineral springs has a strong hydraulic relationship with surface water, which constitutes abundant recharge reserves. It is necessary to study the hydrochemical characteristics and relationship between surface water and mineral water, so as to provide a theoretical basis for further discussion on the formation process and rational utilization of mineral water resources in Changbai Mountain. 57 water samples from 2016 to 2020 were collected, including precipitation, mineral water and surface water. Geostatistics, Piper and Gibbs diagram are used to analyze the hydrochemical characteristics. Hydrochemical component tracing and stable environment isotope technology with end-number calculation are used to reveal the transformation relationship between mineral water and surface water. Results demonstrate: Surface water and mineral water are weak alkaline and low salinity. The hydrochemical type of mineral water is mainly HCO3-Na·Mg·Ca and of surface water is mainly HCO3-Na. The isotopes of precipitation are more enriched in summer due to the influence of water vapor source and temperature effect. The temporal and spatial differences between D and 18O of mineral water is obvious, and isotopes are enriched abundant in autumn. The recharge source and interaction between mineral water and surface water have changes in different periods. In summer, mineral springs in Erdaobai River and Sandaobai River watershed replenished surface water, and the recharge proportion is more than 60%. The interaction between Toudao Baihe river and mineral water is weak. In autumn, precipitation is the main recharge for mineral water and surface water.

Strontium is a kind of trace element. Groundwater containing strontium is called mineral water when its content reaches a level that is beneficial for human physiology. Some groundwater resources in Shijiazhuang are rich in strontium. In this study, groundwater samples collected from 103 sites were studied for the hydrochemical characteristics of strontium and its formation mechanism in the groundwater system in Shijiazhuang City. The methods of source provenance analysis, factor correlation analysis, and runoff condition analysis were carried out in the study. The results showed that the content of strontium in eastern Shijiazhuang is higher than 0.229 mg/L, with a maximum content of 1.942 mg/L. The source of strontium is the dissolution of strontium-containing minerals in carbonate rock, sheet hemp rock, clastic rock, and granite in the Taihang Mountain area of the Hutuo River Basin. Strontium is positively correlated with total dissolved solids, bicarbonate, calcium magnesium, and free carbon dioxide. The erosion ability of groundwater strengthens the dissolution of strontium, and the geochemical action is mainly due to the dissolution. The enrichment and distribution of strontium are related to the conditions of groundwater runoff. Areas with good runoff conditions and strong mining are low in strontium, while areas with poor runoff conditions have high strontium content.

If earlier it was believed that on the territory of the Tatar Republic the Izhevsk mineral spring is the only balneological representative, now, when the study of the productive forces of our region has begun to be widely conducted, we can outline a slightly different picture.

Abstract. Hydrogeochemistry of 10 hot springs in the Kangding district was investigated by analyzing cation and anion concentrations of the spring waters. The water samples were collected within 5 days after the Lushan earthquake. The spring waters are classified into 7 chemical types based on the hydrochemical compositions. Comparison with the hydrochemical data before the Lushan earthquake, concentrations of Ca2+, HCO3− and TDS of the waters from the Guanding, Erdaoqiao, Gonghe, Erhaoying, Tianwanhe and Caoke springs evidently increased, which resulted from enhancing interaction between deep-earth fluids and carbonate rocks by the increment of dissolved CO2 in the groundwater. Concentrations of Na+, Cl− and SO42− of the waters from the Guanding, zheduotang, Xinxing and Gonghe springs were decreased, indicating dilution of precipitation water. Concentrations of Na+ and SO42− of the Erhaoying spring water increased, which may be attributed to the more supplement of fluids enriched in sulfur. The results indicate that hydrochemical components of spring water can be used as an effective indicator for earthquakes.

Abstract A radiological analysis of hot spring water of Hammam Debagh (also called Hammam Meskhoutine) and its associated deposits was realized. Hammam Debagh is considered to be the second hottest springs in the world with a temperature of 98°C and this lead to the creation of travertine. This later was formed because of limestone deposited by mineral springs in a rapid sedimentation of calcium, magnesium bicarbonates, and sulphides. The analysis showed that two-thirds of radioactivity was left by spring water in their deposits. The presence of uranium in the spring deposits was due to the property of the uranyl ion to form stable complexes with carbonates and precipitates. The radiation hazards indexes were estimated and compared with those given in literature.
