“HOT RAW MATERIALS” OF THE PODHALE TROUGH (POLAND AND SLOVAKIA) VERSUS OTHER PERI-TATRIC TROUGHS
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 448, Issue 448
Abstract
The Podhale Basin is one of the most important geothermal regions in Poland, characterised by water temperatures from 20 to 86°C, total dissolved solids (TDS) about 3 g/L, and good water renewal. However, this is a cross-border aquifer system and it is advisable to consider its occurrence in relation to the parameters of the hydraulically connected peri-Tatric troughs in Slovakia. Thermal waters of Podhale are primarily used for recreation and, to lesser extent, for heating purposes, and only on a small scale for drying wood, fish farming and cultivation of vegetables. In Slovakia, thermal waters are used exclusively for recreational purposes. The greatest threat is the over-exploitation of the resources, especially in a small area of the Podhale Basin, and particularly in its northeastern part, where the ages of the thermal waters are very old, indicating a weak renewal of these waters.
