Abstract
The chemical and isotopical ( 18O-deuterium) composition of the thermomineral water emerging around Lake Kinneret is shown to be similar to that of the saline water found in deep oil-exploration wells in the Coastal Plain of Israel, and different from the water found near the Dead Sea. It is suggested that an ancient brine which is filling the deep non-flushed aquifers is driven from the south towards the Rift Valley by a piston action and is mixed with paleo and contemporaneous meteoric water before emerging as thermomineral springs.
