According to the temperature, thermomineral water can be used for various balneological treatmens, as well as for agriculture, communal economy, electro economy, etc. This paper analyses homeohtermal (36°C) and hiperthermal (78°C) waters of the spa Jošanička banja which, together with that of Sijarinska (70°C) and Vranjska banja (90-110°C) are some of the hottest waters in the Republic of Serbia.
