Map of Groundwater Utilization Classified as Mineral Resources in Poland 2016

The Map of Groundwater Utilization Classified as Mineral Resources in Poland was developed by the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute. The first edition was published in 2015 and included information on medicinal, thermal, and brine waters as of the end of the previous year.
Due to the dynamic increase in the number of documented deposits and resources, as well as significant interest from users, the map is updated annually and is available in digital format. Each edition of the map provides information on the occurrence of medicinal, thermal, and brine waters, which, according to the Geological and Mining Law, are classified as mineral resources. It includes their physicochemical characteristics, exploitable resources, methods and intensity of utilization, as well as planned investments related to their extraction. Additionally, the map presents data on areas particularly favorable for the exploration and extraction of these types of waters.
