Spring waters from limestone terrains of the southern area of Okinawa Island have been analysed for chemical and isotopic compositions. The isotopic compositions of river waters from the central and northern areas of the island have also been measured. Spring and river water samples were collected during the following periods: spring waters from April 26th to June 28th, river waters June 1 st and 2nd, and July 20, 21 and 22, 1996, respectively. PCO2 of spring waters is 10-2.3 to 101.1 atm. These high PCO2 are probably caused by a large supply and fast decomposition of litter, owing to the climatic characteristics of the island. High concentrations of Ca2+ and HCO3- in spring waters may be caused by the reaction of limestone with CO2. High concentrations of SO42-, HCO3- and excess Na+ (Na+ of non sea water origin) are found in spring waters from the southern area. These Ca-SO4・HCO3 type spring waters are possibly formed by oxidation of pyrite occurring in the bedrock (Shimajiri Group). Equilibrium relationships among the spring water, feldspar, and clay mineral suggest that spring waters may be equilibrated with kaolinite. The NO3--N content of spring waters has been increased by contamination with chemical fertilizers and waste waters from domestic areas. The increment is striking in the central areas, comparing with data of 1987. Values of δD and δ18O for spring and river waters are -36 to -18‰ and -5.6 to -3.3‰, respectively. These values are almost the same with those of groundwaters in Hateruma and Yonaguni Islands, located about 2° south of Okinawa Island. This is probably due to that the water vapor in these areas are mainly recharged from the sea around the islands. The d-parameter (d=δD-8δ18O) of spring and river waters ranges from 2.8 to 13.4 with an average of 8.6. This indicates that these waters are mainly recharged with precipitations from the Pacific Ocean airmass in summer.
