“…For example, aquifers can be in contact with volcanic rocks, crystalline schists, or unaltered rocks with hydrothermally altered volcanics [40]. Another type of aquifer (aquifer controlled by tectonically active faults, underlying shallow near-surface levels, positioned deep inside and along the perimeter of the massif) is under stable hydraulic pressure [5,[11][12][13][14][15][16]24,39,40].…”

In such circumstances, the composition of investigated groundwaters that belong to the investigated LAC could be formed in the two following scenarios (Figure 2):…”

“…The origin and geochemistry of the groundwaters occurring across the Serbo-Macedonian Unit and surrounding area were the focal points of several reports [5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The analyzed water samples have exceeded the concentrations recorded for the elements B, F, Li, Rb, and Sr, as well as for REEs, including Th and U.…”

The study of aquifers of the Lece andesite complex (LAC) and its surroundings yielded a new procedural stepwise analysis that allowed the assessment of the origin of elements, particularly in areas affected by both anthropogenic and natural influences. The methodology uses the mineralogical composition of the rocks, including the elements available in rocks and groundwater. This study analyzes the element ratios B/Cl−, Na+/Ca2+, Ca2+/Mg2+, HCO3−/Cl−, and Na+/Na+ + Cl−; the correlations are coupled with a statistical analysis. In addition to reevaluating the already published water content, we provide an important new dataset. The results show that the main source of the water contamination with the elements B, F, U, As, Cu, Fe, Zn, Co, and Ni is the processes occurring at the contact between the groundwaters and non-altered/altered (propylitized) andesite rocks. This is also observed in the waters extracted from crystalline schists. The results may help develop an efficient use and assessment of the qualitative water potential of the LAC reservoirs. Similarly, the results highlight the applicability of the groundwaters, facilitating their regional research and use, further encouraging new initiatives for the preservation and protection of human and animal health.

“…(Todorović et al, 2016;Petrović Pantić et al, 2021).In Bihor County, the long tradition of harnessing geothermal waters for tourism and balneology (Felix, Băile 1 Mai, Tinca) has proven obvious characteristics of sustainability. Recent research examines, however, to what extent the radioactive potential of the new geothermal water sources, not yet fully entered into the tourist and treatment circuit, could affect the sustainability feature(Roba, 2010;Roba et al, 2010;Roba, 2012;Begy et al, 2023).…”

The problem of this research stems from the fact that in Bihor County there are 75 localities that have one or more thermal water wells, of which only 8 locations can provide balneological treatment. The purpose of the research is to evaluate whether the geothermal potential of the region would be sustainable for the development of balneology in other localities as well. In order to meet the above-mentioned requirement, an interdisciplinary methodology was necessary, starting from geophysics and geology, including hydrogeology, chemistry, physics and ending with elements of tourism and balneological potential. The research methods refer to field work, the inventory of all locations that have geothermal resources, the creation of a database, the analysis of the stability and continuity over time of the source of thermalism, the analysis of the stability and time continuity of those physical-chemical properties that are suitable for balneology. In conclusion, out of the 67 locations that still cannot provide balneological treatment, only 20 could fulfil the sustainability criteria and are able to diversify the exploitation of thermal waters. There are 47 other locations that have unexploited boreholes, but despite this, we have come to the conclusion that balneology and tourism based on geothermal waters in Bihor County has a sustainable future in dozens of localities.
