The thermal-mineral water of Backa and the possibilities of its exploitation

Abstract

Bačka is a region of Vojvodina which spreads between the Hungarian border on north, The Tisa river on east and the Danube river on west and south. This is a relatively small area, 8,671 square km, but it contains significant amount of thermal and mineral water. Only certain number of collectors, with general mineralization up to 4 g/l and temperature around 75°C, are exploited. For the time being, the thermal water of Bačka are used merely for heating spa and sport facilities. Regarding its quality and amount, this water could be used in many different ways beside this one, for example, in agriculture, industry, tourism, etc.
