- Abstract
The study of mineral waters from the Eastern Carpathians dates back to the early 17th century, when the first geological and chemical descriptions appeared. Since then a number of synthesizing studies appeared on the topic of provenance, geochemistry and medical effect of the mineral water springs and spas. Starting from the 20th Century, as a result of the developing analytical techniques, new, innovative methods appeared, such as the use of stable isotopes of oxygen (δ18O) and deuterium (δD), which gave new information mostly on the origin of mineral waters and helped identifying the present ongoing geochemical processes. This paper aims to summarize the theoretical background of the analytical methods based on the investigation of stable isotopes and highlights most of the results achieved in the Eastern Carpathians, including recent data from 2012-2013.
