Abstract: The object of study is the mineral water "Dmanisi" in the municipality of Dmanisi. Although water has been used for centuries to treat kidney diseases, it was studied by us for the first time. Sampling water in different seasons were studied by chemical, microbiological and physico-chemical methods: Study of chemical composition: (determination of pH, hardness, Na+ and K+ by flame emission spectrometry (ISO 9964-3:2010); Sstudy of anions and cations by ion-exchange chromatography: ISO 9964-3:2010, ISO 10304-1:2007 , ISO 10523:2010); Determination of heavy metals: plasma-emission and plasma-emission mass spectrometry (method ISO 11885:2007); Determination organic substances: Kubel's method; Determination of phenolic acids in water (HPLC). Resultes: Dmanisi mineral water belongs to the type of low mineralized, hydrocarbonate-sodium-calcium water; Manganese, lead, selenium, molybdenum were not found in the water. Iron, Copper, Zinc, Cadmium, Nickel and Cyan ion are within the norm. Stibium and Strontium were found in the water. Strontium is not a radioactive isotope and stibium concentration was subjected to membrane filter purification Pyrocatechin, Gallic, Formic acid, Citric acid, whose total concentration does not exceed 0.120 mg/l, is confirmed in Dmanisi Mineral Water. Water "Dmanisi” remains stable for at least 1 month after sampling. Conclusion: The results allow Dmanisi Mineral Water to be recommended for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases.
