The hydrogeochemical characteristics of therapeutic waters in Rabka Spa

Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2009, Vol 436, Issue 436

Abstract

In Rabka Spa, within the Magura nappe, occurrences of springs with therapeutic waters have been known from historical records. All drillings recorded Cl–Na type waters with iodine and bromine. The origin of chloride waters in the Polish Flysch Carpathians is complicated and discussed. This paper contains the preliminary results of research on hydrogeochemical equilibrium in therapeutic waters in Rabka Spa. The modelling study was carried out with the use of WATEQ4F software. Minerals regulating the hydrogeochemical equilibrium in therapeutic waters in Rabka Spa are principally chalcedony, feldspar group and illite.
