Seasonal Dynamics of the Physicochemical and Microbiological Parameters of Selected Thermal Waters in Adjara
A seasonal investigation was carried out on selected thermal water sources in the Adjara region, specifically in Makhinjauri, Akhalsopeli, and Leghva.The contemporary landscape mosaic surrounding each thermal site was evaluated.Organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of the water samples were measured under field conditions.In laboratory conditions, the ionic composition, along with the concentrations of macroelements and microelements, was analyzed.To assess water quality, the abundance of saprophytic and coliform bacteria was quantified.Furthermore, accompanying gases were examined to determine hydrocarbon composition.The results of this comprehensive study were interpreted in the context of seasonal variation, with the objective of identifying potential avenues for the sustainable utilization of these thermal waters.
