ECOLOGICAL, GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF THE STUDY OF HYDROMINERAL RESOURCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS

Abstract

The main regularities of the territorial distribution and composition of hydromineral resources of the Republic of Belarus are considered. An environmental and geographical assessment of the resources and prospects for the use of sapropels in the country was carried out. It has been established that Belarus independently meets its needs in providing health resort facilities of the country with medicinal brines, as well as sapropel and peat mud, which makes it possible to strengthen the medical and health-improving base of health facilities in Belarus, and to develop the tourist business in the country.
