چکیده
One hundred and nineteen karst springs, all with electrical conductivity of less than 500 gmhosfcm, discharging two carbonatic aquifers in Zagrosides of Iran are chosen and studied. The results indicate that the lithology of each unit is well reflected in the chemistry of the springs and the overall mineralogical composition of the aquifer can successfully be reconstructed from the hydrochemistry of the springs using a mass balance approach. A comparison of the chemistry of the springs reveals that the significant difference is due to the dolomitic nature of one of the studied aquifers
