ABSTRACT. -Characteristics and use of mineral waters and therapeutic mud from Grid village area (Braşov County). This paper present some physicochemical characteristics of mineral waters and therapeutic mud in the Grid Village area, as well as aspects regarding their use. The study is based on the data collected from relevant bibliographic sources and field investigations and measurements carried out between 2012 -2016. Chemically, the mineral waters from Grid Village area are chlorosodic (salinity 50 g/l), bicarbonated, and calcium-rich. The mineral salt deposit build-up on the soil stratum led to the formation of therapeutic mud, which has a compact granular structure with evenlydistributed chemical elements (except for sodium and chlorine) and high concentrations in oxygen and silicon. At present, the use of mineral waters and therapeutic mud from Grid village area is underdeveloped and strictly local.
ABSTRACT. Mineral waters and therapeutic muds from Homorod Baths (Braşov). Characteristics and exploitation. The work aims to present some physicochemical characteristics of mineral waters and muds from Homorod Baths, a succinct history of knowing and capitalizing on these resources and the possibilities for future development. It is based on the synthesis of information from specialized scientific papers (including cartographic documents), archive documents, as well as on the performance of own measurements on physical-chemical parameters (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016) and interviews with locals and local authorities. On the basis of observations and field investigations, there are also presented aspects of the arrangements that existed for the purpose of exploiting the terapeutical factors and the present state of the Homorod Baths.
Mineral waters in Brașov County. Characteristics and use. The sources of mineral water are spread all over Braşov County, but most of them have been identified and mapped in the central part of the county, namely at the contact between Transylvanian Depression with the western part of the Eastern Carpathians. Based on the analysis of the mineral water sources identified in the field during 2011-2016 period , three major types of mineral waters have been identified: chlorosodic, carbonated and hypothermal waters. Clorosodic waters are present within or close to areas of salt massives (the eastern and southeastern edge of the Transylvanian Depression), some of these having high salty concentration (more than 70 g/l at Mercheaşa and Racoş). Carbonated mineral waters appear in the southern part of the neogen eruptive, respectively in the unit of the internal Carpathian flysch, on the Zizin-Tărlungeni-Săcele line. Hypothermal waters emerge on the Măieruş-Codlea line, having a constant temperature (23,4ºC at Măieruş and 18,4ºC at Codlea). Some locations with mineral water sources in the Brașov county used to be permanent or seasonal resorts of regional or local importance, many of them being currently abandoned or in an advanced degree of degradation (e.g. Băile Homorod, Băile Zizin, Băile Veneţia de Jos etc.), excepting Băile Rodbav and Băile Perşani which are still active.
