- Title
Hydrogeological and Hydrogeochemical Features of the Heybeli Spa, Afyon, Turkey: Arsenic and the Other Contaminants in the Thermal Waters.

- Abstract
The article presents a study conducted to evaluate the hydrogeochemical properties of the Heybeli spa and to determine the water quality of thermal waters by comparing with the various standards. Paleozoic to Mesozoic Metamorphic rocks that are mainly composed of schists and marbles and Neogene rocks of terrestrial sediments outcrop in and around the study area. Metamorphic rocks are the main reservoir of the thermal waters. The aquifer is developed by means of fractures, faults and karstified of marbles. Overlying Neogene terrestrial sediments are the second reservoir for the thermal waters. Upper parts of this aquifer and Quaternary alluvium are the aquifer for the cold ground waters.
