| Abstract | The future of geothermal energy utilisation in Latvia could be most successful if the old sedimentary water could be used for balneological purposes. The temperature of the geothermal water in tourist regions mostly is not exceeding 40oC. Notwithstanding balneological indicators of the water are on a high level, comparing with thermal waters in the famous resorts of the world. This report addresses, in outline, the potential for balneological purposes of geothermal water in Latvia in the recreation and health industry.. |
