Survey was done to total 250 people to analyze characteristics of water quality in 5 widely used mineral water springs-(Teajosan(a), Leechungmukong(b), Onju(c), Yeongin(d), Crown(e))-in Chung-nam area and local mineral water usage. And the content of mineral and physico-chemical properties were compared in 5 sites. The largest users of mineral water spring was $40{\sim}50's$ of ages. Among those mineral water spring users, 52.5% had regular dietary habit and 32% showed improvement in lift habit after using mineral water spring. The mineral water spring users were engaged in student, housewife, professional, self-employed, etc. Those who were highly interested in health were likely to use mineral spring water more often regardless of age and occupation. Five mineral water springs differed in contents of mineral. The average content of minerals was $Ca\;28.5mg/{\ell},\;K\;1.5mg/{\ell},\;Mg\;5.3mg/{\ell},\;Na\;14.3mg/{\ell}$. 'K index' was an indicator of healthy water, and 'O index' was an indicator of tasty water. According to K indek and O index, waters of a b, c and e area were classified as 'tasty and healthy water', and water of e area had the highest values in both K and O index d area was classified as 'tasty water.'

Chemical analysis, statistical analysis and geochemical study were carried out to investigate the influence of the geology on the chemical characferistics of the mineral water in Taegu area. A simple comparision between the chemical components of the mineral water and their bedrocks indicates that the bedrock types in the catchmerit area control the chemical characteristics of the surface water. However more objective evidences for the mineral water-bedrock relationship come from the statistical analyses(cluster analysis and factor analysis). The results of the statistical analyses suggest that the bedrock type factor explains the data variation seven times as much as pollution does, which evidently indicates that the bedrock in the study area mainly control the mineral water chemistries. The results of comparision of the statistical analyses results with the mineral weathering reactions and mineral stability diagrams can be summarized as follows: 1. Plagioclase weathering to kaolinite provides SiO$_2$ , Ca$^{2+}$ and Na$^+$, and muscovite weathering to kaolinite provides K$^+$, and amphibole and mica minerals weathering to kaolinite provides F to the mineral water. Most of Ca$^{2+}$ and Mg$^{2+}$ in the mineral water are the products of carbonate mineral dissolution. SO$_4^{2-}$ may be the byproduct of sulfide oxidation. 2. The weatering of silicate mineral produces Ca-rich smectite and kaolinite, but Ca-rich smectite is unstable and will be transformed to more stable kaolinite because of the continuous dilution of the mineral water by precipitation. By Hashimoto's Mineral Balance Index, S-10 and S-12 mineral spring water were evaluated tasty and healthy water, S-9 and S-11 mineral spring water were evaluated tasty water and S-7, S-8 and S-13 mineral spring water were evaluated healthy water.

Natural mineral water is generally quite different from ordinary drinking water due to its original nature and various properties. The complexity of natural mineral water requires, therefore, not only to identify its nature and proper characteristics, but also to classify them by a reasonable scientific basis of comparison. The study was concentrated on a possible classification technique to natural mineral waters by their constitutions and physico-ehemical properties. The classification was carried out by the computation of such numerical parameters as ionic equivalent percentage, electrolytic conductance or mobility, ionic molecular weight, molecular concentration, equivalent conductivity and degree of ionization in consideration of the determinative criteria as follows -particular single element or molecule -major components of natural waters as bicarbonate, sulphate, chloride,caloride, calcium, magnesium, and sodium -moleculat concentration related to blood osmotic pressure -water temperature at emergence from spring -contents of free carbon dioxide (CO2) -pH value of water -total dissolved solids or salts (NaCl) The results obtained proved out to be clearly distinguhhable from ordinary drinking water as far as concern natural mineral water as an example on the subject -simple water -bicarbonate-predominating water -cold spring -carbonated-non gaseous water -weak alkaline water -non saline water Putting these various results together, the sample turned out to be a kind of natural mineral water that can be used as a drinking water if microbiologically safe.

한반도 남동부에 위치한 동래온천은 우리나라의 대표적인 고온성 온천중의 하나이다. 동래온천수의 수질형태는 Na-Cl형이고, 상부의 일반 천부지하수는Ca(-Na)-$HCO_3$ 형으로서 서로 간에 연결성이 매우 미약하다. 이 논문에서는 동래 온천수의 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$비와 AMS를 이용하여 측정한 $^{14}C$ 동위원소 년대를 토대로 동래온천수의 나이 즉 온천수-지하수-지표수-천수간의 순환속도를 토의하고자 한다. 연구결과, 2008년도의 2차례에 걸쳐 채취된 동래온천수의 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$비는 0.705663-0.705688로 매우 안정된 값을 갖고 있으며, 이는 천부지하수, 지표수, 해수 및 천수보다 낮은 값이다. $^{14}C$ 동위원소 연대에 의하면, 온천수는 1271년에서 2467년 비보정연대(BP)를 보여주고, 지표수는 -495년으로 나타났다. 이는 동래온천수의 순환속도가 적어도 2500년 이상임을 지시해준다. 이와 같은 순환연대는 현재 사용되고 있는 동래온천수는 과거에 가열된 고온의 물과 현재의 천부지하수와의 혼합수임을 지시해주는 것이다.

This study was motivated by the purpose of improving the O-Index, currently used to quantify water tasty. The authors first develop the M-Index after normalizing Ca, K, and $SiO_{2}$ concentrations in the spring water, in that the concentrations are subject to their log-normal distributions. The M-Index is then compared with the O-Index based on the results of sensory tests, revealing that sensory tests are correlated with the M-Index much more than the O-Index. Furthermore, the developed index is applied to evaluate water sampled from 53 springs in Korea. It is concluded that water, sampled from five most famous springs, has high values in M-Index. In addition, water, collected from springs that are relatively accessible, contains low values, and thus is expected not to tasty good.
