A great deal of springs of thermal and mineral water are observed in studied region. The temperature of water on the Earth surface reaches over 50 °С. Such springs as Gavzavua, Naftoni, Donuzutan, Misharchay, Alasha, Meshasu and others are characterized with high temperature and recovery rate. Currently, local population uses it medicinally. On the territory of researched region 12 wells have been drilled. As a result of studying gathered actual data (geological, hydrogeological, geophysical and other) and hydrogeological characteristics of thermal and mineral water, it can be concluded that Lenkeran-Astara hydrogeotermic region can be turned to a modern sanatorium and health resort in the future.
