Abstract

The Far East of Russia has many manifestations of mineral waters with a wide range of chemical compositions. About 50 mineral water sources have been developed as spas and health resorts, and more than 25 produce bottled mineral water. The basis for resource assessment is data taken from about 150 mineral water fields and occurrences located all over the region. Data from different sources—natural springs and wells— has been summarized and analyzed. The details of the chemical composition of the different types of mineral waters and some geological aquifer peculiarities are described. The most widely used classification of mineral waters is presented. The present condition of these waters and the government standards laid down for their use are described. Examples of different mineral waters are given.
