In this study, water samples were collected from 10 thermal and non-thermal springs of Mahalat setting during four periods in 2011. The discharge rates of these springs vary from 2 l/s to 45 l/s and their temperature range from an average minimum of 18oC to maximum 47oC. Spring water is high in SO4-Cl and this is related to gypsum dissolution. Correlation coefficient, principal component analys...
