Abstract
The chemical composition of the groundwater is directly dependent on the
geological structure, hydrogeological and hydrochemical characteristics and
as such it represents an output result of all the factors and processes which
take place in the environment within which they were formed. The chemical
composition of thermomineral waters often represents a crucial factor in
determining the origin, balneological valorization and geothermal potential
of the resources. This work presents the analysis of origin, belneological
valorization and geothermal potential of Josanicka Banja spa, on the basis of
the results gained through making the analyisis of chemical contents of the
thermomineral waters which occur in the area. The ratio of concentrations of
specific chemical components in the thermomineral waters of Josanicka Banja
has served as the basic tool for ascertaining the origin of these waters. On
the basis of the analysis of the main anion-cation and gas compositions as
well as the contents of specific micro-components, a balneological
valorization of these resources has been carried out. Apart from that this
work also presents the calculation of the expected temperatures in the
primary geothermal reservoir, which was carried out on the basis of the
results of chemical analysis of thermomineral waters that occur in the area.
Geothermal potential of about 4 MWt and significant contents of
balneologically active components of the chemical composition of these
waters, open up a possibility for their multi-purpose use, which is also
presented in the work. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR
