Water chemistry of underwater springs and auxiliary sites.

*Taken from Stein et al. [93];†Taken from Gross [47];#Taken from Stiller and Nissenbaum [76].Classification based on REY: L- Limestone group;D1- Dead Sea group, subgroup 1;D2- Dead Sea group, subgroup 2.Chemical composition and other characteristics of the waters from the Dead Sea, underwater springs, shore springs and additional auxiliary sites. Mixing coefficients represent the calculated percentages of brine (either porewater or the Qedem brine) admixed to the freshwater from the Jericho 5 well that best explain the measured concentrations of K, Cl and Br as well as the ratios of Cl/Br and Ca/Mg. PW/− denotes mixture of the porewater and freshwater, −/Q denotes mixture of the Qedem brine and freshwater.
