CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENESIS OF THERMAL WATER OF THE NORTH-EAST PERIMETER OF THE ZENICA-SARAJEVO BASIN, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Abstract

The phenomena of thermal waters in the northeastern periphery of the Zenica-Sarajevo basin is caused by the geological structure, structural-tectonic and hydrogeological characteristics of the terrain. The genesis had not been fully addressed before. This paper presents the study of the genesis of thermal waters based on the geological structure, structural-tectonic and hydrogeological characteristics of the terrain, and physiochemical and isotopic composition of water. The results provide a new contribution to the structure of this part of the Zenica-Sarajevo basin and create a more realistic foundation for the future research of thermal water in this area.
