Scientific paper

In a survey of the radon and radium contents of various water sources in Israel, a number of anomalies were detected. All the highest values found were in waters located in the Jordan Rift Valley, which is a part of the large Syrian-African Rift Valley. To explain these anomalies and other geochemical features of these sources a hypothesis of underground reservoirs of brines, oils and gases was developed. Field data appear to indicate the existence of such reservoirs in the Dead Sea and Lake Kinneret areas, where they seem to be the source of the mineral and radioactive springs occurring on the shores. The results lead to some practical conclusions concerning the possible exploitation of potassium-rich brines found near the Dead Sea, the salinization of Lake Kinneret and prospecting for oil and gas in the Rift Valley.
