The sources of water are located kilometers from Kutaisi in the territory of Baghdati municipality, in Tsablarastskali River gorge (the left feeder of Khanistskali River) on the northern slope of the Meskheti Ridge.

Sairme mineral water is used for drinking and bottling. There is a sanatorium in Sairme.〔The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979)〕 == History == The first mention of the waters Sairme was found in the sources of the 1890s. According to popular legends among the people, two brothers - the hunters who were pursuing the trail of a wounded deer found water Sairme. Water flowed over the stones red with oxide and all around it was white with salt. Deer often came here for salt and water. They called the water Sairme because of their number (the origin of the name comes from the Georgian word ირემი, which in translation means "deer"). Shepherds also paid attention to this area because of the amazing events. They noticed that in a place that was at a distance of about 3 km from the source of deer, grass was steady green, the snows never lie, and the earth was already dry in a few minutes after the rain. The veil of mystery of a magic glade was filmed in the 20th century when geologists discovered hot mineral water in the land. The first attempt of a scientific study of water Sairme is associated with the name of Baghdad doctor Kelenjeradze. In 1912 while still a student, he took a sample for analysis to St. Petersburg. The first chemical analysis of mineral water was held by professors of Petersburg Military Academy. They were vividly interested with a sample sent from the possession of Eristavi in Petersburg. In subsequent years Latvian scientist Robert Kuptsis studied the mineral waters Sairme. On the orders of Emperor Nicholas II he studied mineral waters of the Caucasus, particularly Georgia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sairme (water)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
