Abstract :

Dalaki sulfur springs (Oba, Garuw and Rahdar), are hot sulfur springs in Bushehr province. The use of these hotwater and sulfur springs for agricultural and some diseases treatment by area residents has a long history. Originof these springs likely is mixing oil saline water of Asmari reservoir rock of Dalaki oil field with water sulphateGachsaran formation place ran out are springs. This saline water has mixed with spring's water by fault systemQatar-Kazeroun that strongly influence on region. For evaluate these springs Hydrochemical state (determinetype of water and identify the major elements and some trace elements) and its therapeutic potential in the 1389sampling of spring water were performed. Type of these springs water is Na-Cl. According to study conductedBalneology of these spring water can be effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, skin and hairrickets, and the nerves. These springs despite many health benefits, due to downstream water quality degradationand their pollution and their hydrogen sulfide have devastating environmental impacts also.
