本文在分析矿泉水形成的地质背景基础上,论述了全省碳酸矿泉水以游离Co₂、偏硅酸含量高,尤其矿化度高,并富含锶、锂、锌为基本特征;硅酸矿泉水以含锶的淡矿泉水为基本特征。全省矿泉水分布广泛、泉点集中、资源丰富、水质优良、类型齐全,具有广阔的开发前景。近期火山活动与活动断裂是矿泉水形成机制的两种类型。各火山群与活动断裂带是寻找矿泉水新产地的有望地段。

The complex geological structure, the frequent activities of volcanos, and the strong neo-tectonic movement are the favourable conditions for the natural mineral spring water to form and emerge. The basic characteristics of the carbonated mineral spring water in the Chang-Bai Mountains are: the contents of CO₂, and H₂SiO₃ are very large, the mineralization degree is very high, and it is rich in some trace elements such as Sr, Li, Zn, ect. The majority of the silicic acid mineral spring water contain Srand some contain Zn.The natural mineral spring water is widely distributed in Jilin Province. Its exploitation has many advangeous conditions such as rich resources, concentrated distrution, and the excellent quality of the water. The basic strategy for exploiting the mineral spring water includes overall planing, protecting resources, making rational exploitation, increasing advertisement, etc.The recent activities of volcanos and the active faults are the two mechanisms to form the mineral spring water. So volcano groups and active fault belts in the province are the most hopeful locations to find the mineral spring water.
