Distribution and possibilities of use of thermal and thermo-mineral waters in Macva

Abstract

According to its characteristics the deposit of thermal waters in Mačva is of world significance. The reservoir consists of the karstified Triassic limestone and dolomites where the water temperature of about 100ºC is expected. These phenomena were registered in Dubalj, Bogatić, Mačvanski Pričinović, Belotić, Metković and Klenj. There are real prerequisites for Mačva to become 'the hydro-geothermal region' with intensive exploitation of water. Present assessment shows that geothermal energy from thermal waters, exploited near Bogatic, could utilized in intensive agri and aqva cultural production of whole Macva, especially organic food according to restri word ecologic standards, as well as heating of Bogatic, Sabac, Loznica and Sremska Mitrovica.

Thermal mineral waters of Vojvodina (Serbia) and the possibility of their use: A case study of the Municipality of Kikinda

“…Different sorts of fi sh require different water temperatures, and by regulating it, it is possible to achieve much larger production compared to the traditional. The use of thermal mineral waters in agriculture for the watering of cultures which have high energy demands is in initial stages (Gajić and Vujadinović, 2009) and requires additional research. On the other hand, watering with thermal mineral waters could also have certain unfavorable consequences for the soil owing to the salt and other substances which would be concentrated in the soil.…”

Existing state of exploration of hydrogeothermal potentials and the possibility of their use in the territory of Bogatić municipality

“…Coal clays and thin layers of coal occur in some levels. Sandy-gravelly material is important for the formation of thermal water deposits in the Neogene sediments (Gajić et al, 2009).…”

“…Different types of fish require a different water temperature, the regulation of which produces far higher production than the traditional one. Thus, for example, catfish grows up to commercial weight for 4 to 6 months at a temperature of 18-27°C, while trout requires temperature from 12°C to 18°C (Gajić et al, 2009). By regulating the temperature, faster development of organisms is achieved by 50 to 100%, which also increases the production.…”

“…According to the previous world experiences, production would be realized in two production cycles (spring and autumn) with 5 ha of one greenhouse, except for lettuce that goes into the whole year's production cycle. Gajić et al, 2009 The qualitative and ecological effects of the use of geothermal waters refer to the enrichment of agricultural products with mineral substances, which is at the same time the prerequisite for achieving ecological goals, i.e. production of healthy food.…”

“…Perić and Milivojević in 1981 published the results of a pilot study on the geothermal potential of the Avala-Kosmaj-Bukulja-Rudnik area, and ten years later they published the results of the study, that is, gave an Evaluation of the Energy Potential of Geothermal Resources of the territory of Serbia without Vojvodina, Kosovo and Metohija. Contribution to hydrogeothermal research in the territory of Serbia is given through papers and studies of domestic researchers (Перић, J. et al, 1982;Миливојевић, M. et al, 1982,1984, 2012Протић, Д. et al, 1998;Martinović, M. et al, 2000;Milenić, D. et al, 2010Milenić, D. et al, , 2016Gajić, M. et al, 2005Gajić, M. et al, , 2009Dokmanović, P. et al, 2012;Joksimović, M. et al, 2014;Vranješ, A. et al, 2015;Krunić, O. et al, 2017).…”
