Abstract

The ¹⁸O/¹⁶O and ²H/¹H ratios of 18 water brands representing the most popular bottled water brands in the Saudi market were measured using a system based on the latest advancements in tunable off-axis integrated cavity output diode laser spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) in the near-infrared spectral region. Utilizing δ¹⁸O and the δ²H values of locally produced water samples, a meteoric water line (δ²H = 7.84 δ¹⁸O + 2.11) was extracted and found to be consistent with the slope of the global meteoric water line (GMWL) and the geographic location of Saudi Arabia.
