title: [Current state of a mineral water spa and a health resort complex in the Republic of Bashkortostan and prospects for its further development].
abstract: The objective of this study was to consider natural conditions and mechanisms of formation of mineral water sources in the Republic of Baskortostan. A map showing their location within the bounds of the Republic lying at the junction of Europe and Asia is presented. The distribution of mineral water springs is highly non-uniform and dictated by the landscape patterns, climatic, geologic and tectonic history of the territory, its climatic and hydrological conditions. It is concluded that most part of Bshkortostan has very promising prospects for the further development of its spa and resort complex.
