HYDROGEOTHERMAL MODEL OF THE LOCALITY PROEVCE, REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Abstract

The paper presents the results from the research on the "Proevce" hydrothermal system, which is located near Kumanovo. The terrain on which the thermo-mineral waters occur is the left bank of the river terrace of the Kumanovska River, above which the Proevski hill rises steeply, composed of old Paleozoic marbles and schists.

The explorations showed that there are three significant springs with thermo-mineral water in the research area: artesian borehole S - 1, natural spring with catchment K - 2 and spa spring. According to its chemical composition, the water is hydrocarbonate - sodium-potassium poorly magnesian.

According to the performed hydrochemical and balneological tests and analyses, the water from this deposit meets all the requirements for using water for drinking and treatment.
