whereas Massah spring is characterized by hard fresh water. The piper diagram is
classified the water springs as Ca HCO3 (II Type) except Apollo spring is contained
CaMgCl (IV Type). Plot of Mg/Ca vs. Na/Ca ratio of water springs revealed the source
of major ions were originated from limestone and terra rossa soil weathering.
According to WHO (2018) the water springs in study areas should be treated for
