MinWat2014 - International Multidisciplinary Conference on Mineral Waters: Genesis, Exploitation, Protection and Valorisation - will be held in the Hotel Thermal, in the famous city of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic, 8-11 September 2014.

The deadline for abstract submission is 1 February 2014.


Conference will be organised in the form of three parallel sessions:
• Hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry — origin, protection and management
• Bottled water — market and demand, health issues
• Balneology — balneotherapy and balneotechnics

At the beginning of each day, during a plenary session the three parallel sessions will be introduced by a series of invited keynote lectures. The main objective if these keynote lectures will be the presentation of typical problems existing in the fields of hydrogeology-hydrogeochemistry, bottled mineral water, and balneology to other colleagues in the audience. These introductory keynote lectures will be relatively easy to follow also for colleagues from other disciplines. By doing so, the experts from, for example, balneology and water bottling will learn about current issues in the field of hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry, and vice versa, of course.
