Glossary

Codex Alimentarius:

Collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines, definitions, and recommendations relating to food, food production and processing, and food safety, including standards for bottled drinking waters and natural mineral waters. The Codex Alimentarius is developed and maintained by the Codex Alimentarius Commission established in November 1961 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The World Health Organization (WHO) joined the Commission in June 1962. The first session of the Commission was held in Rome in October 1963.

Curative water:

Groundwater which meets the standards of mineral water (i.e., at least 1 g/kg dissolved solid) or which contains less than 1 g/kg of dissolved solids but having concentration of pharmacologically active compound above the lower limit, including temperature above 20 °C (i.e., thermal water).

Geothermal energy resources:

Total amount of thermal energy (heat)...
