According to recent reports, an artesian well in Sukhothai Province has revealed soda groundwater with a quality similar to French mineral water. The water, which is odorless but tingles on the tongue, was suspected to be high-quality mineral water by local villagers. Officials tested the water and found that it contains bicarbonate and calcium content that are highly beneficial to the body and is close in quality to French mineral water. However, it must be filtered before consumption due to its weak acidity, high hardness, and manganese ore content. The soda groundwater is a result of carbon dioxide mixing with groundwater from limestone. Lt. Col. Kanet Rakwoon, well owner, is currently discussing with villagers and community leaders on ways to create mutual benefits such as selling the water for 1-2 baht per liter or producing bottled water for sale following going through the legal process.
Happy revealing the test results of soda groundwater in Sukhothai province, revealing the quality similar to French mineral water, revealing the true miracle of nature.
On April 13, 2023, reporters reported on the progress of an artesian well drilling in the area of Moo 7, Na Choeng Khiri Subdistrict, Khiri Mas District, Sukhothai Province, and it turned out that the water tasted like soda, tingling on the tongue, odorless. Villagers suspected that it might be world-class quality mineral water. as found in Huai Krachao District, Kanchanaburi Province, which was later involved by officials went in to verify As already presented in the news
Most recently, Mr. Sudjai Wongcharee, director of the Groundwater Quality Standards Division gave an interview over the phone with reporters that from the results of collecting soda groundwater samples at Sukhothai for analysis By the Office of Groundwater Resources, Region 7, Kamphaeng Phet, it was found that the source of mineral water was Sukhothai. Contains bicarbonate and calcium content that are highly beneficial to the body Close to mineral water originating in France
Mr. Sudjai continued that, however, it must be filtered before it can be consumed. Because in this source of groundwater, soda It is weakly acidic, pH 6.2, hardness 530 ppm., But the normal value is 300 ppm. And not more than 500 ppm. There is also manganese ore 0.6 ppm., Which is generally not more than 0.3 ppm. Therefore if taken for drinking Manganese ore must be filtered out first, giving a value of 0 or not more than 0.3 ppm. for safety.
Mr. Sudjai said that most of the source of groundwater soda comes from limestone. where carbon dioxide travels up through cracks in the soil layer and combines with the groundwater in the groundwater strata above with a layer of rock covering it resulting in carbon dioxide cannot permeate through the atmosphere
“Soda groundwater is quite acidic. There is a relatively high amount of bicarbonate in the water. which resulted in foaming and give a refreshing taste And in the water, there may be some elements in excess. Therefore, sedimentation or filtration must be used without changing the essential compounds in the natural mineral water, ”said Mr. Sudjai.
Mr. Sudjai also said that for soda groundwater Natural sparkling mineral water from Sukhothai is truly a miracle of nature. This mineral water has been filtered through many layers of rock. and is protected from the external environment. clean and fresh but before drinking To be safe, the manganese ore must be filtered out.
Lt. Col. Kanet Rakwoon, pensioner The Sukhothai groundwater well owner said he was excited regarding the results of the analysis. After this, there will be talks with villagers and community leaders. To find ways to create mutual benefits, such as may be made into a coin-operated mineral water Selling to villagers for 1-2 baht per liter or producing bottled water for sale By going through the next legal process
In conclusion, the discovery of soda groundwater in Sukhothai province has been a remarkable revelation. The test results have confirmed that the quality is comparable to French mineral water, highlighting the true miracle of nature. While the source of the groundwater has proven to be highly beneficial to the body, it must be filtered before consumption. The findings have opened up opportunities for the local community, and discussions are underway to find ways to create mutual benefits, such as bottling the water for sale. This discovery is a promising sign for the future, and we look forward to seeing how it will impact the region and beyond.
