  Following the previous conferences held in Karlovy Vary (MinWat-2014, Czech Republic), Luso (MinWat-2017, Portugal) and Caserta (MinWat-2020, Italy), the MinWat-2025 also intends to be a wide platform for exchange of knowledge, technological news, ideas and views among professionals dealing with groundwaters, scientists/academicians, practitioners, policy makers and stakeholders in mineral water industry and geothermics. The conference is going to cover a range of topics crucial in modern development in the area of exploration, assessment and sustainable use of mineral and thermal waters, such as: balneology and medicinal water, industrially valuable waters and acid mine drainage, bottling water industry, issues related to groundwater origin, quality and chemical composition, water-rock interaction, contaminant transport, emerging pollutants and microplastic, application of state-of-the-art methods, licensing and legal regulations.
  We count on a wide participation of professionals from various countries of Europe and the world to share their experience, to shed light on real problems in the field and to make exchange of know-how more fruitful. The best presentations will have the opportunity for publication in dedicated indexed journals.
