Abstract

Ngoc Luong thermal mineral water at Vo Am ecotoursim, Ngoc Luong commnune, Yen Thuy district, Hoa Binh province, northern
Vietnam. The thermal mineral water source is at karstic-fractured limstones of Dong Giao Formation aged Anisi. Methods used
in this study conists of basic field survey of hydrogeology, resistivity, borehole drilling, pumping tests, and thermal mineral water
sample analysis. The thermal mineral water is classified as radon-radium, low mineralised thermal mineral water. The water source
is originally related to the deep Moc Chau-Tam Diep Fault directing northwest-southeastward. Its exploration reserve is estimated
at 1,497 m3/d with good quality, sastifying all national criterals for the use of domestic supply, bathing, and medical treatment. This
is one of ten rare thermal-mineral water sources in Vietnam, containing radon and radium. It is thefore necessary to have good
management to ensure the thermal-mineral water to be effectively exploited, used, and protected.
