Abstract

THE SMALLEST AND THE ONLY CARPATHIAN SPA WITH SULPHIDE WATERS AT WAPIENNE NEAR GORLICEAbstract. In the paper intakes of sulphide therapeutic waters at Wapienne Spa, the only Carpathians health resort possessing sulphide therapeutic waters are described. There exist water intakes: springs Kamila and Marta and wells W-1 and W-2. Their summary admissible volume amounts 5.67m3/h. The water mineralization varies from 437 to 536 mg/dm3 and hydrogen sulphide content ranges from 1.05 to 12.2 mg/dm3. Due to the high hydrogen sulphide content (more than 1 mg/dm3) these waters are classified as therapeutic. The therapeutic waters at Wapienne Spa are associated with Inoceramian Beds of Cretaceous age. These beds are developed as fine and medium grained, gray sandstones and shales.
