Lourenço, C., Pascoal, R. (2018/2019). The Metagenomic Study of Natural Mineral Waters for the Scientific Recognition of Therapeutic Vocations. Bulletin of Mines - Thermalism Special Edition, 53, 39-53.

 

This publication (Mine Bulletin) has, over the years, accompanied the geological resources in the various organisms, where they have been organically integrated, since 1910. It is a vehicle for the dissemination of all extractive activity, which includes mineral deposits (mines), natural mineral waters and springs waters, hydrocarbons (oil and gas) and mineral masses (quarries). It also includes all the projects on this type of resources that stand out for their quality and/or relevance to the topic.

Geological and Mining Institute (IGM). (2002). Prospecting, Research and Collection of Natural Mineral Waters, Geothermal Resources and Spring Waters. ISBN 972-98469-6-0. pag. 1-150.

 

This publication aims to disseminate the communications presented in technical sessions held with the objective of formulating guidelines and building consensus for the performance of exploration, research and extraction of natural mineral waters, geothermal resources and spring waters. These activities are essential to the availability of resources in appropriate conditions for their exploitation and valorization, both in terms of quantity and quality, since their rational use is only possible if their conditions of occurrence are known.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Geological and Mining Institute (IGM). (1999). Preserving the Quality fo Natural Mineral Waters and Spring Waters. ISBN 972-95452-8-6. pag. 1-80.

 

This publication aims to disseminate the communications presented in technical sessions held with the objective of formulating guidelines to be followed by companies and the Public Administration to enable the preservation, utilization, and enhancement of hydro-mineral resources and spring waters, with a view to increasing the quality of bottled waters (mineral and spring), as well as those used in thermal establishments. Among the various subjects covered, the Exploration Plans, Protection Perimeters, Quality Control, and Sanitary Surveillance stand out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Henriques., F., (1998). Medicinal Aquilage fac-similated edition by Geological and Mining Institute (IGM). ISBN 972-95452-5-1. pag. 1-260.

 

This work, which is a historical landmark for the country's hydro-mineral heritage, shows that thermal occurrences have been around for centuries and can be put to good use. It is divided into seven chapters: Caldas (hot springs), Hot Springs, Cold Springs, Rivers, Wells, Ponds, and Cisterns.
