Abstract

In the present work it was studied the content of radioactive gas radon - Rn-222 in the number of sources of surface water located nearby to village Kvemo Khviti, (Gori Municipality) in the territory of so-called Kartli artesian basins. Research was carried out during a year once a quarter. Radon detector RAD7 was used for determining radon content. It was established, that radon content in water considerably changes depending on the source location as well as on water type too. So, for example, radon content in various sources of water was within the limits from several units of Bq/L up to 10 Bq/L. A comparison with literary data has been carried out.
