Hot springs that are good for health and that people in every parts of the world bathe in these waters and enjoy their mineral and even soothing properties, but after bathing, many pollutants enter the water. Whereas the effluent of these waters is dumped into rivers in some places very easily and strangely.
If these valuable and useful waters can be reused, in many places we will have both clean water and employment.
Does anyone have any guidelines on how to treat these beneficial waters quickly and easily?
Is hot water springs treatment and reuse economical؟ While these waters are constantly dropping out of the ground!

Most of the answers of your questions are available in this book.
(on line not available ).
The water can be recycled back to water devoid of microbial pollutants by heating and chlorination. In terms of mechanical pollution, filtration and magnetization of the water can suffice and in terms of chemical pollution, depending on the types of chemical species available, treatments can be done to reduce the species.
Hot water springs are beneficial for Human health when bathing.
Immunity systems increased. However water get polluted.
Certainly number of pollutants are added..Organic pollutants are added in which BOD COD and organic compounds are added.
In such areas bioremediations are used
I believe that its possible to treat and reuse this water. The specific treatment methods/requirements will depend on the status of the waste water. It is imperative that this status be determined to enable appropriate treatment.
chlorination followed by filtration on activated carbon and UV sterilisation can be in some case sufficient
