Bećirbegovića 19, 71000 Sarajevo, B&H 2Federal geological survey Sarajevo, Ustanička 11, 71210 Ilidţa, B&H e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] geothermal profile of terrain and the possibility of ABSTRACT determination of the aquifer with the temperature more than 58°C, which is the most important task in The wider area of place Ilidţa is characterized by a future research. Many indications point to the variety of lithology, tectonic complexity and existence of water temperature more than 58°C in the remarkable geomorphological phenomena, from primary aquifer and proven seismoactive levels of which result complexity of hydrogeological relations over 5 km depth give the same possibility of and the existence of many surface flows and descendence of meteoric waters and their heating in accumulations of various types of groundwaters. that depth. Drinking, mineral, thermal and thermomineral waters in karstic Triassic carbonate rocks and alluvium are INTRODUCTION concentrated at a distance of 3 km only from Ilidţa to Blaţuj. All waters have high capacities, verified Ilidţa area represents one of the richest zone of indications of quality with a broad range of different types of mineral, thermal and thermomineral applications. The Roman Emperor Diocletian had waters, potable groundwaters and surface water flows been treated here for ischialgia and name of Ilidţa in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ilidţa is located in the derives from Ottoman rule in Bosnia and central part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 8 km west of Herzegovina comes from the Turkish word ilaç (= Sarajevo with which it makes an urban whole, drug), which is clearly associated with healing situated in Sarajevo field, which is in the south and thermomineral waters of Ilidţa. west surrounded by the high mountains Treskavica, Bjelašnica and Igman and in the east Trebević, while Thermomineral waters of Ilidţa are the most to the southwest lies in the Middle Bosnian basin. important. There are 5 types of CO2 –H2S and CO2 waters with temperature of water from t = 20–58°C. River Bosnia flows through Ilidţa with the main H2S–CO2 water in the center of Ilidţa are surrounded tributaries Zujevina and Ţeljeznica and several by CO2 and thermal waters in the form of incomplete smaller tributaries. belts and around these the large zones of cold waters exist in Triassic karst and alluvium media. The total In the area of thermomineral springs in Ilidza existed yield of artesian flow of wells with CO2–H2S water a Roman colony under the name Aquae S ..., as with t =58° is about Q=260 l/s and a power of 50 evidenced by the mosaics and original stone plaque.

The waters are of meteoric Inhabitants of Ilidţa have erected a monument to origin, prenuclear age and very slow circulation and their emperor Diocletian, apparently severe water exchange, CO2 is of hydrothermometamorphic rheumatist, which is kept in the National Museum in genesis. IB-10 well, made in 2004, 500 m only from Sarajevo, where it writes: "Imperatori Caesari Gaio the zone of CO2–H2S waters, with thermomineral Valerio Diocletiano, Pio, Felici, Invicto Augusto CO2–waters, depth of 1100 m, only one of all wells Aquae S...."

Absence of letters probably means 1002-1100 m, t=20°C, Qpump=86 l/s) and substantially Sulphurae (=sulphuric). According to the reduced mineralization and the content of CO2 along archaeological findings water were used over 2400 the depth. years B. C. The more it was explored in the past, Terrain of Ilidţa is characterized by diversity of hydrogeothermal model of Ilidţa waters is the more lithological composition, complexity of tectonic complex today. The new data of well IB-10 are even processes, a hallmark of geomorphological more unknown and becomes puzzling, especially in phenomena and the variability of the development of plausible deep geological and hydrometeorological factors, resulting in a complex hydrogeological relations and the existence of accumulations of cold drinking, thermal and Upper Triassic (T3) thermomineral waters. These layers cover considerable area on Igman and Bjelasnica, where they situated in the roof of the Hydrogeoterms of Ilidţa are formed in strongly middle-upper Triassic (T2,3). Upper Triassic is tectonized and karstified Triassic carbonate fracture- represented by limestones, occasionally with karst rocks which make many tectonic bocks. dolomite. The thickness of this member is about 700 m. Thermomineralal waters as the most important resource among hydrotermal resources were formed Jurassic-Cretaceous sediments (J, K) in different tectonic blocks from which in the Ilidza area and Blaţuj outflows in the alluvium in the small The sediments of this age have a local character only surface and have different temperature, and appear in the Presjenica, Vojkovići and even less mineralization, yield and hydraulic characteristics. on Bjelašnica and Igman mountains. They are mainly found wedged between rocks of Triassic age. GEOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS Upper Cretaceous (K2) Terrain of Ilidţa belongs to geotectonic unit of It stretches from Blaţuj to Rakovica in the form of Paleozoic schists and Mesozoic limestone of Interior flysch. It lies discordantly over Anisian limestones Dinarides. The terrain is built of Triassic, Jurassic- and dolomites. The thickness of these layers is up to Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary rocks in which 400 m. are expressed plicative and disjunctive tectonics.
