%X the present study identifies the hydrochemical and isotopic properties of 11 springs, including one thermal spring, in tulian watershed, located in the city of puerto cort¨¦s, cort¨¦s, honduras. the relation between the concentrations of the environmental stable isotopes deuterium (2h) and oxygen -18 (18o) in the water is similar to the relation in global meteoric water, indicating that the water has a meteoric origin. evaluation of the geochemical characteristics of the water reveals that these springs belong to the same hydrogeological system, which comprises a fractured schist and gneiss of the esquistos cacaguapa formation. the water of the evaluated springs is mainly na-ca-hco3. the ¦Ä2h (¡ë) and ¦Ä2h contents indicate that there is no variation in the ¡ë value.
