Özet

In this study, hydrogeochemical characteristics and the origin of geothermal springs and mineral waters southwest of Uludag (Bursa) Mountain were investigated. Temperatures of thermal waters are 37-64.5 degrees C and those of mineral waters range from 15.6 to 22.5 degrees C. Total dissolved solid (TDS) content of waters is in the range of 451 to 2026 mg/l. The pH of mineral waters (6.2 - 6.7) is much more acidic than thermal waters (7.1 - 7.3). Thermal waters are represented by Na-Ca-HCO3 facies type, while mineral waters are Mg-Na-Ca-HCO3 type.
