THE HYDROGEOLOGICAL STUDY ON THERMAL AND MINERAL WATER OF ILICAPINAR (POLATLI)
Abstract
In this study aiming the hydrogeological investigation of thermal and mineralized waters of WSW Ilıcapınar (Polatlı) area. 1/25000 scaled geological maps of appoxiamely 50 km 2 area have been done. Meteoric waters infiltrating to ward to the deep level of the ground along fractures and fissures have been warmed up due to geotermic gradient. They have been up rose to the surface throught fault planes a result of leaving of gases in the water and hydrostatic pressure. Thermal and mineralized waters of ılıcapınar spring discharge along the N-Strending fault. The temperature of the spring is 28.5 °C and discharge is 8.4 l/s. It is determined that the hot and mineralized water are come from about 700 m. According to the IAH standarts hot and mineralized water of ılıcapınar spring can be classifid as Na, HCO3, Cl, S bearing hot and mineralized water.
