Geotherma SA

Abstract

After a short reminder on the reglementary basis which run the thermal and mineral waters exploitation in France, we will see the steps to undertake in order to qualify a new "spring".

A thermal or mineral water is characterized by a specific physicochemical and bacteriological facies whose stability must be achieved.

We will examine through a few examples the importance, of the qualification conditions which must take into account the exploitation regime, the hydrogeological conditions and the specifities of each deposit.
