Hot springs and wells from the Shiquan River in the west to the Cona-Oiga rifts in the east, mostly along the Yarlung Zangbo suture. Lü et al. (2014): pH 6.5 to 9.5, molar Cl/B from 0.1 to 17.0, B from 0.36 to 472.4 ppm (Barr boiling spring); mixing between a B-rich, light end-member (crustal magmatic rocks) and a B-poor, heavy one (marine carbonates, rain), with no mantle or marine input. Rain estimated at -6.0 to +6.8 ‰. Summary record, without coordinates.
