Thermal waters of the Polish part of the Carpathians

Abstract

Occurrences of thermal waters, their TDS and chemistry are briefly characterised. When considering usage, the most important are thermal waters occurring in the Podhale Basin due to their high temperature (to 82°C at the surface), yield (to 270 m3/s - outflow) and low TDS (to 3 g/dm3). Thermal waters in the Podhale Basin are protected by a complex of low permeable or almost impermeablel fysch rocks.
