Some Thermal Springs in Kameng District, Arunachal Pradesh

Four thermal springs exist in the vicinity of Central Crystalline Thrust within a shear zone in Dirang Formation in the Diggin valley of Kameng district, Arunachal Pradesh. These springs are luke warm at the surface but have higher base temperature about 200°C. The water samples from these springs were hydrochemically analysed for Ca, Mg, Na, K, SO₄ Cl, HCO₃, B. Chemistry reveals that these springs are fed from a deeper source. The author has made an attempt to study these thermal springs with a view to understanding the Geothermics in the area.
