ecreational activities. The beginning of
usage of mineral water is related to the
Middle Ages. By archaeology explorations
of the King Milutin city of Banjska, the spa
baths were discovered, what proves that the
mineral waters were used even in that
time.
Recent capture works are executed
1954-1956, which is a major source of
yield increase of 1.75 to 4.9 l/s water, and
to some extent and the temperature.
In the research project of Hydrogeology
investigation of mineral and thermo
mineral waters of the northern part of
Kosovo and Metohiaa, financed by
Ministry for environmental protection and
planning, based on physical-chemical
analysis, the balneology opinion for
thermo mineral waters of Banjska was
given by Dr. T. Jovanovic:
In balneo-treatment water can be used in
swimming on the appropriate temperature
and the additional treatment of chronic diseases
(states and non ancular rheumatism,
rehabilitation after surgical interventions on
the bone ancle system of non malignant
origin, post rheumatism states, the rehabilitation
of injuries of peripheral nerves and spinal
cord injuries, sports and recreational
injuries of the locomotive system in the
situations where the beneficiaries of the
therapy procedures for listed diseases are
children before the puberty it is necessary to
decrease the water temperature to the temperature
of their age, in the treatment of urogenital
disorders in women natal period) and
drinking in specific indications hypermortality
of gastro interstinal tract and hepatobiliary
system under special control of
professional medical personnel at the source
or temperature not below 32 0 C. This would
be recognized tourism and Spa Village, with
the environmental values of the surrounding
area and the monuments of culture could be
developed in the spa centre [6].
Hydrogeothermal energy intensive food
production allows you to achieve economic,
qualitative and ecological effects.
By using of mineral water in agriculture
to achieve economic effects, as lower
production costs achieved higher yields.
Geothermal energy, per unit of heat produced,
cheaper than all other energy
sources. By using hydrogeothermal energy
it is possible in greenhouses growing
vegetables and flowers, nursery plants and
planting materials.
For the heating of the green houses
covered by polyethylene film, some 200 kJ
per hour needed, i. e., for heating of greenhouse
which is 30 m long, 4 m wide and
average height of 3 m, it is needed [8]:
30 x 4 x 3 x 200 = 72.000 kJ/h
Qualitative and ecological effects of
thermal waters usage are referred to high
content of minerals in agriculture products,
that is also a condition for achieving of
acology goals i. e. health food production.
Crops irrigation by thermominearl water is
more and more present in food production,
with high energy efficiency. The largest
part of agricultural land is lacking of
essential micro elements and other mineral
particles and nutritients. They are situated
in deeper thermal waters, in dissolved and
ionic form ( the most adequate form) so the
plants and animals can use them [4].
There is a wide range of possibilities of
using thermal water in industry (drying,
evaporation, distillation, cooling, roasting,
extraction, washing and dyeing, process
heating and cultivation of industrial plants).
Hydrogeothermal energy application for
heating is in the beginning stage and very
modest considering the resources.
CONCLUSION
Occurrence of thermal water Banjska
are very important in the area of the
northern part of Kosovo and Metohija.
