Baths of Saturnia, Italy

According to legend, warm springs began to beat out of the ground in the place where the spear of the angry Jupiter fell, aiming, but not hitting Saturn. It landed in a very good place - on the hills of the Maremma, a two-hour drive from Rome. The mineral waters of Saturnia are of a volcanic nature. Their healing properties were first noticed by the ancient Etruscans. Now there is a balneotherapy resort here. Nevertheless, you do not have to be a visitor to a SPA center or a guest of an expensive hotel in order to plunge into the famous thermal baths - the main source at the old mill works for free.

The water temperature in the springs is 37.5. That is, slightly warmer than body temperature. That is why, in it a person feels very comfortable and can easily relax.

Naturally, a holy place is never empty: crowds of people sometimes gather at the free sources of the old mill. That is why best time to visit them begins in autumn.

Palea Kameni, Greece

There are thermal springs in Greece, and not far from Santorini. From there, tourists are taken by boat to the uninhabited island of Palea Kameni (which means “burnt for centuries”), which is known for its azure springs and curative sulfuric mud. Interestingly, the hot springs there are located right in the sea and you need to swim to them from the ship yourself.

60 owners of sports and recreation complexes and rest houses in the Uygur district of the Almaty region were surprised by the tax bills that they were issued for two quarters of 2017, of which only the second quarter falls on the season. Now they claim that last year's amendments to the Tax Code brought their business to the brink of shutting down.

According to the amendments made in 2016 to article 342 “Tax rates for the extraction of minerals”, camp sites that use in their economic activity water from hot springs, which were previously considered water users, are now classified as subsoil users. Under the new requirements, businessmen must pay for a cubic meter of underground water extracted in the amount of 1 MCI - 2269 tenge. Businessmen claim that maximum profit they rarely exceed 10 million tenge per season.

“At the moment, the State Revenue Department of the Uyghur region has issued notices on the elimination of violations based on the results of cameral control to three entrepreneurs on payment for used water for the quarter. The rest houses "Tumar", "Dovun" and "Premium" were each given 19 million tenge of debt. Although they do not even earn such amounts in a year,” says Ashimzhan Imirov, head of the Uyghur District Water Users Association.

The owners of the complexes sent collective letter Prime Minister Bakytzhan Sagintayev:

“This situation may lead to the closure of all holiday homes, sports and recreation centers and planned tourist routes, as well as to the reduction of 700 jobs. We ask you to help in resolving this legal incident and amend Article 342 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.”

There are more than 100 hot springs in the Uyghur region. Water temperature all year round keeps within 20-37 degrees Celsius, and in some places exceeds 50 degrees.

Officials in Astana know about the plight of businessmen from the Uighur region. From the response of the Water Resources Committee of the Ministry Agriculture it can be concluded that the agency has thought about the status of groundwater users.

“Currently, the granting of the right to use groundwater is divided between two authorized bodies (the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry for Investment and Development. - Author's note). In this regard, we believe that the issue of classifying individuals as water users and subsoil users needs to be resolved,” the Ministry of Agriculture states.

The Committee of Geology and Subsoil Use of the Ministry of Investment and Development reported that, according to Article 66 “On Subsoil and Use”, water users are legal and individuals, using on the basis of a special permit for special water use from a part of the subsoil, household and drinking water with a withdrawal limit of 50 to 2000 cubic meters per day. And subsoil users are considered to be persons engaged in exploration and extraction of groundwater on the basis of subsoil use contracts.

The written response of the Ombudsman for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs to the owners of health resorts said: “In the near future, the National Chamber, as part of the consideration of the draft concept of the new Tax Code, will initiate a proposal to revise the tax rate for the extraction of minerals on groundwater for the field of activity you indicated.”

“For the current 2017, we have entered into an agreement with the regional state revenue department. The agency will not yet issue notifications for debt collection for hot spring water use. But from next year, if the legislation does not change, businessmen will pay according to the tariffs specified in the law,” says Muslim Amangeldy, head of the Uighur representative office of the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs in Almaty region.

Since the issue of clean drinking water is very relevant now, the mineral water business is considered very profitable. Since the demand for good water is high in every region, and there are also enough mineral water sources, everyone can arrange profitable business on mineral water. This case is different quick payback at small investment and water is an almost inexhaustible source of income.

Many people think that there are few sources of mineral water and they are all owned by someone, in fact, water extracted from the lower levels of groundwater can be considered mineral water. The degree of mineralization of water can also be different, but if it was extracted from a depth of more than a hundred meters, then such water is considered mineral and has healing properties.

In order to properly organize a business, you need to understand what mineral water is. It differs from drinking water in the presence of mineral compounds. According to their composition, mineral waters are divided into:

• sulfate;
• Chloride;
• Hydrocarbonate.

Also, mineral waters are table (with a mineral content of up to 4.5 g / liter) and medicinal (over 4.5 g / liter). The composition of water and its source directly affect the organization of a business. It is also necessary to take into account the extraction, packaging, transportation of water to points of sale and other factors. Like any other business, earning on mineral water requires detailed business plan, in which it is necessary to describe all the nuances and stages of organizing your own business.

When organizing a business selling mineral water, it is important to decide on the type of product. In addition to mineral waters, melt water is now in demand. During freezing pure water turns to ice faster than dirty and with impurities, so they can be drained, and the remaining liquid will be the most useful. The production of melt water does not require special investments, so at the stage of establishing a business, this can be a starting point.

You can issue a package of documents yourself or order this service from a specialized company that will do everything you need for a fee (from 500 USD).

Equipment

As for the list this equipment, you will need the following items:

• Saturator;
• Well pumps;
• Water tanks;

On sale you can find new and used equipment from domestic and foreign manufacturers. If the used equipment option is chosen, then over time, as the business expands, it will be possible to replace old equipment to new positions.

It is also necessary to purchase transport for transporting products to places of trade and consumers.

Extraction of mineral water

Well access from mineral water not everyone can get it, so if it is not there, then water can be purchased and brought to the desired mineral composition. It should be understood that this option is more expensive.

With the option of own well, it is necessary to prepare a project for the construction of a bottling plant. This object will be Food Industry Therefore, it is important to comply with all norms and requirements. The well and the plot of land must be converted into private property, and if this is not possible, then it is necessary to agree on a long-term lease (term of 50 years).

• Advertising in the media
• Articles and announcements in the specialized printed publications.

• Water treatment until ready
• Purchase or manufacture of containers for bottling
