Abstract:
In this present study we analyzed the impact of three naturally carbonated mineral water springs to the soil pH value of the surrounding farmlands in the Olt Valley, selected by us. The field and forest areas are inundated by the mineral water making the soil wet, and we assume that by its mineral salt content it affects the pH value of the soil, thus altering fertility. By our measurements we tried to prove these assumptions. Moreover, we would like to support our research by the observation of the changes in vegetation around the springs.
