Abstract
Mineral waters of Bohemia are characterized by a considerable variety of chemical gaseous composition. They may be subdivided chemically into: calcium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium sulfate, sodium sulfate, and ferruginous sulfate. Carbonated-water springs are chiefly developed along the periphery of the Bohemian massif. The conditions of formation of such springs in Karlovy Vary, Frantiskovy Lázně and Mariánské Lazne and Lugačevice are highly distinctive. Hydrogen-sulfide waters are widespread along the eastern margin of the region, forming part of an extensive zone of oil-bearing waters stretching from Austria into Czechoslovakia and Poland. The principal chemical types of hydrogen sulfide waters are the sodium bicarbonate and calcium bicarbonate varieties. Waters of Bohemia are distinguished according to the degree of radioactivity, low-, mean-, and high-radioactive. The greatest number of radioactive springs has been found on Rudná Hora, the Sudeten, the Slavkov Forests, Central Bohemia and Bohemian Moravian Hills. Bohemia's mineral waters are widely used for medicinal purposes. — Auth. English Summary
