Abstract

From 1955 to 1985 an intensive hydrogeological survey has been carried out in Slovakia, in order to ascertain the conditions of forming mineral and geothermal waters in various geological structures and to find new sources of the afore-mentioned waters. The survey helped to clarify the laws of their distribution and evaluate the quantitative and qualitative properties of water developing on the basis of geologic-tectonic conditions and physical-geographic terms of the given territory. The Slovakian territory belongs to the Carpathian geological system. Five separate geological units having a different hydrologic characteristic, quality and water yield of reserves and resources form this geological system. A great number of mineral and thermal springs in Slovakia displaying different quantities and quality, provide numerous possibilities of their practical utilization.
