  Hydrochemical investigations, which are significant for the assessment of water quality, have been carried out to study the sources of dissolved ions in hot springs water of some part of Jebel Mara mountain, Darfur region, Sudan. The temperature of hot springs water was varies from 50°C to 60°C. Samples collected from hot springs near Koronga village at Jebel Mara, were analyzed for major solutes and trace elements as part of larger study to characterize the geochemical signature of these ground waters. In these study, four major cations (Ca++, Mg++, Na+ and K+), three major anions (Cl-, SO42- and HCO3) and some trace elements (Mn, Zn, Pb, Fe and P) were analyzed in these ground water samples. This study reveals that most waters taken from hot springs has high values of Hydrogen ion concentration (pH).. View More»
