Abstract

The Hydrogeothermal system of the Kuršumlijska Banja is located at the southem part of Serbia on the edge of the greatest neogene paleovolcanic andesite complex in the Balkan peninsula. Four great paleovolcanic calderas are present in this complex. The diameter of the greatest caldera is approximately 30 km. Metamorphic rocks of the lower complex of the Serbian—Macedonian Massif are in the bedrock of the caldera. Thermal waters of the Kuršumlijska Banja are of the hydrocarbonate-sodium type, rich in Si02 and C02 gas. The geothermal investigations started in 1974. The present temperature of thermal water from the well is 68 °C. On basis of hydrogeothermometry the expected reservoir temperature is 110-140 °C. Themial waters are utilized in balneologica] purposes and space heating by heat exchanger.
