Abstract
Thermal and mineral waters of the Resadiye spring were studied in terms of origin,
source characteristics and physico-chemical features. Two boreholes are proposed to increase production.
Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous age Zinav limestone is fractured and contains vuggy porosity and likely
acts as an aquifer for thermal water. The overlying marly units of the Nebiseyh and Kapakli Formations
act as seal. Thermal water emanates from a N25W-N65W fracture which is located within the North
Anatolian Fault Zone. Temperatures are between 38" and 4 9 O C and the discharge rate is 3 l/s. These hot
waters are meteoric waters that have been warmed up due to the geothermal gradient. Total dissolved
solid solids range fi-om 3563 to 5990 mg/l. To protect these springs three separate reserves have been
proposed.
