Abstract

Bulgaria's mineral water is among the few natural resources that the country has both in quantity and quality, and make it competitive not only in Europe. The usefulness has been known for centuries and we have enough scientific and practical evidence in this use.

When we make researches about the settlement and the local and regional development we find inconsistency in the meaning and use of our mineral water. This article is not common to the country, so we will limit it to emphasizing only the contrast between the Bulgarian mineral water on the market and the supply of our neighbors. There the local is far more modest, the Bulgarian water is missing, and the established brands from our western Mediterranean competitors, especially Italy and France, are present.

We have had and still have hundreds of usable and unusable mineral springs and boreholes, but the number of settlements that develop the respective economy and healthcare, unfortunately, is small.
