In this study, the hydrogeochemical properties of the water springs in the west of the district of Suhut (Afyonkarahisar) were investigated. CaMgHCO 3 , CaNaSO 4 , CaNaHCO 3 and CaHCO 3 water types were identified in spring waters according to analysis results in in the September-2017 and April-2018. Monthly periodic flow rate measurements were made between September-2017 and September-2018 in the water springs. The annual base flow values and the average yields of the water springs are between. 72 m 3 /year and 0.01-1.81 l/s, respectively. In the study area, it is observed that the waters do not exceed the limit values in terms of physical properties and anion-cation contents. However, the As concentration of the spring waters varies between 6.1-22.9 ?g/l. As increase was determined due to rock-water interaction in all spring waters except for Kumalar spring. Fe, Mn and Ni contents of the Dedecik spring in Kayabelen are also above the drinking water standard values. Heavy metal increases in spring waters are generally geogenic origin in relation to volcanic rocks. Kumalar spring is the most suitable source for drinking water. It has been determined that the spring waters are suitable for irrigation water.
