This book brings together the latest findings on mineral and thermal
waters from countries in Southeastern (SE) Europe (Croatia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Romania and
Bulgaria). Each chapter is dedicated to the most recent geochemical and
hydrogeological investigations for a specific country in SE Europe,
helping readers to understand the origins and applications of mineral
and thermal waters - aspects which are of great importance for the
economic development of this region, as these waters are renewable
resources, and have been gaining in popularity over the last few
decades. Thanks to the region's favorable geological conditions, it is
home to more than 6,000 sources of mineral and thermal waters,
characterized by different physical properties and chemical
compositions.
