Abstract
The future of geothermal energy utilisation in Latvia could be most successful if the old
sedimentary water could be used for balneological purposes. The temperature of the
geothermal water in tourist regions mostly is not exceeding 40oC. Notwithstanding
balneological indicators of the water are on a high level, comparing with thermal waters in the
famous resorts of the world. This report addresses, in outline, the potential for balneological
purposes of geothermal water in Latvia in the recreation and health industry..
