CHARACTERIZATION OF BALNEOLOGICAL MINERAL WATERS (SPRINGS) AND EXPERIENCES IN THEIR STUDY
Abstract
The article examines the formation, physicochemical composition, therapeutic properties, and classification characteristics of balneological mineral waters (springs). The significance of biologically active components, temperature, pH, and ionic-salt composition in determining the therapeutic properties of mineral waters is analyzed. The stages of development in the study of mineral springs, from ancient times to the present day, are also considered. Particular attention is given to the importance of hydrogeological, hydrochemical, and cartographic approaches in the investigation and assessment of mineral water resources.
