COMPOSITION OF SPRING WATERS OF THE KABARDIN-BALKAR REPUBLIC

Abstract

The springs of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic belong to the class of hydrocarbonated fresh waters, «moderately hard», without dangerous levels of heavy metals and inorganic nitrogen compounds’ concentrations. Data on the concentration of ingredients characterizing the composition and quality of spring waters have been obtained. The article presents the results of observations of the pH value, total hardness, heavy metal concentration, inorganic nitrogen compounds and the main ions.
