Development perspectives of this aspect were considered today by the State Council for issues of complex use of mineral resources. The heat of underground water is actively used in other countries. Belarus also has some experience in this sphere. 

A modern geothermal station operates near Brest. A geothermal map has been developed in the country and scientists know at which depth the waters are located and which temperature they are. 

Despite the high mineralization, which by the way complicates water extraction, specialists are sure that the development of geothermal energy is perspective for Belarus.
