The study tried to characterize and assess 15 cold-water holy springs (HSs) reputed to acquire higher healing power in West Gojjam and Awi Zones, Ethiopia.

Results showed that the sample HS waters possessed highly variable physico-chemical parameters, such as total hardness, TDS, conductivity and pH. Such variations are attributed to the variations in the surrounding natural and anthropogenic factors, viz., geology, topography,...
