Stable Isotopes (18O and 2H) Characteristics of Several Hot Springs in West Java']Java

Hot springs locations in West Java are distributed from south to north and are generally associated with active or inactive volcanoes. During the exploration stage, hot springs become a point of interest for geothermal investigation, especially regarding the water isotope compositions. This study aimed to obtain the hot springs' characteristics in West Java based on the O-18 and H-2 isotope compositions. Water samples were collected from several hot springs in West Java, i.e., Gunung Pancar and Ciseeng, Bogor; Gunung Gede, Cianjur; Santa, Sukabumi; and Palimanan, Cirebon. The result shows that the characteristics of Gunung Pancar and Sukabumi hot springs are dominated by meteoric water. Meanwhile, interactions with carbonate rocks occur in Ciseeng and Palimaman hot springs. While, hot springs in Gunung Gede are the product of water interaction with andesitic rocks, with the fraction of andesitic waters between 0.003 to 0.21.
