16TH SINKHOLE CONFERENCE NCKRI SYMPOSIUM 8 cal precipitation. The deuterium excess values of these spring water samples are close to 10‰, which may indicate little evaporation during precipitation and groundwater movement. These investigations aim to reveal the relationship between water quality of springs and local geoenvironmental conditions, evaluate the impact of long-term climate variations and wet and dry conditions on water quality, identify possible sources of nitrate among sampling
