In particular, there is a focus on Pokhara, Jumla, the world- famous Annapurna region, Ruby Valley, and Api Nampa Conservation Area. The chapter on health benefits of mineral hot springs provides a history of hot springs supported by a literature review and case study. Further chapters explore the direct uses of geothermal energy for various purposes and power generation, together with a section on conventional hydrothermal resources. This book is of interest to the general public, students, national and international researchers, energy planners, and health professionals. The book is a valuable tool for sociologists who want to gain insight into the cultural and religious aspects of hot water mineral springs. 001450715 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 3, 2022). 001450715 650_0 $$aHot springs$$zNepal. 001450715 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001450715 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030994996$$z9783030994990$$w(OCoLC)1302739133 001450715 852__ $$bebk 001450715 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-99500-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001450715 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1450715$$pGLOBAL_SET 001450715 980__ $$aBIB 001450715 980__ $$aEBOOK 001450715 982__ $$aEbook 001450715 983__ $$aOnline 001450715 994__ $$a92$$bISE
