This paper deals with the water anomalies of various geologic bodies. The characteristics of ground water radon anomalies in granite: The anomalies, accounting for 78% of the total water anomalies, develop along the structures and rock contact zones. The water is usually higher in temperature, containing CO/sub 2/. If water radon anomalies are found high on one side of water or gas impermeable structures, it is quite possible that the mineralized bodies do occur in the upper course of water flow. The characteristics of ground water radon anomalies in volcanic rock: It is benefitial for prospecting that the water radon anomalies occur in the depth or in a big structure zone and its secondary ones. In view of the lower radon content in volcanic rocks, searching for uranium deposits becomes more important. The characteristics of ground water radon anomalies in sedimentary-metamorphic rocks: They are mostly controlled by the structures of rock layers, the chemical components of the water are very complicated. The water in the ancient weathered zone is higher in radon but lower in uranium. It has the same characteristic as the anomalous water in slope sediments and crevasse rocks. The contents of uranium, radon, and radium, and the relationship between them greatly in various anomalous water.
