Balneology (from Lat.: balneum - Steam, with gr,: lógos - science) the field of medicine spa known since antiquity that studies the healing properties of groundwater and mud, and using them in therapy. Balneology is especially effective treatment of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and spine, post-traumatic and post-operative orthopedic osteoarthritis, gout, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, post myocardial infarction, post alular and vascular diseases, hypertension, diseases of the nervous system and respiratory system. One of the most beautifully situated and rich in water treatment is a spa town in Dlugopole

Water in Pakistan is contaminated by microbes and dangerous metals. Pakistan is one of the South Asian countries with the worst water pollution. The recommended limits for the various measures from the World Health Organization (WHO) are regularly disregarded. The lack of adequate maintenance and regulation of the drinking water quality in Pakistan puts the community's health in danger. The main goal of this review is to talk about water pollution by giving a general overview of the level of water pollution in Pakistan's rivers, significant sources of water pollution, significant pollutants involved in water pollution (like microbial contamination and heavy metal pollution), and significant pollutants' effects on human health. Urban areas are known to contribute to increased water pollution, health issues, river pollution, heavy metal contamination, etc. in Pakistan and other parts of the region. This hypothesis contends that urbanization and population pressures have an immediate effect on the environment, ecosystem, demand for freshwater, water supply pollution, and other issues. Because urban areas are major sources of pollution, there is a substantial interaction between urban areas and agriculture. The review's results were derived from several research that were accepted for publication in prominent journals with high-impact factors and in government reports from throughout the country. Additionally, the goal of the evaluation is to inspire decision-makers, those responsible for creating policies, researchers, and administrative divisions to begin useful initiatives and develop cutting-edge plans for ensuring clean and pure water. To protect the neighborhood and environment from an outbreak of infectious diseases on a global scale, urgent action must be taken to reduce additional contamination and improve the existing bodies of water.

This study is based on the analysis of drinking water parameters in selected wet and intermediate zones of Sri Lanka. Unsafe drinking water is one of the main concerns in developing countries. In Sri Lanka, the drinking water quality is a major concern in many places. A series of studies have been conducted in intensive agricultural production areas, namely, Jaffna, Vavuniya, Anuradhapura, Kurunagala and Hambantota. This represents a longitudinal section of Sri Lanka, and the study was done to understand the groundwater quality over the years of 2004 to 2009. Water from selected areas were sampled throughout the villages of this area mostly from open wells and tube wells. The samples were analysed for their chemical quality in order to identify water quality as compared with the Sri Lankan Drinking water standard. For this study, Sodium (Na+), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Chloride (Clˉ), Sulphate (SO42ˉ) and Nitrate (NO3ˉ) were analysed. Accordingly, in the Dry Zone, the concentration of the Ca, Mg and Cl are higher than in the Wet Zones. Indeed, some sampling wells in the Dry Zones have extreme concentration of Ca (more than 1000 mg/l) and this is a major threat to the consumers for drinking purposes. In total, of 103 wells, 6 percent of the sampling wells were identified as contaminated, whereas in total, of 96 wells in the Dry Zone, 64 percent of the sampling wells were found to be contaminated due to chemical concentration. We found that rural areas are facing agrochemical-leaching problems into the groundwater, whereas urban areas are facing industrial and biological materials seeping into the ground and surface water bodies.
