MINERAL WATER: AN APPROACH TO MINING, COLLECTION AND QUALITY FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION

Abstract

The present study demonstrates aspects of mineral water and mining research. It was intended to demonstrate the guidelines of the Mining Code and the Water Code, as guiding legal bases under the management of the National Mining Agency and to analyze the importance of controlling the quality of water for human consumption, according to Anvisa Resolutions - RDC - 274 and 275/2005. The process of making water available as a mineral good to be industrialized goes through research, analysis, classification and extraction. In this context, your guiding question is: what is the importance of the quality of mineral water for human consumption in promoting health? And it aims to analyze the quality of water, its importance for consumption and health promotion. It also shows that the National Mining Agency supervises the commercialization of mineral waters through the control of the collection of the Economic Compensation for the Exploration of Mineral Resources - CFEM. For this, a bibliographic research was carried out, consulting legislation, books and websites of public agencies. The results showed that the extraction of mineral water is an activity present in the daily life of society and its regular consumption enables a healthy quality of life. Mineral water has been shown to bring important health benefits: thermoregulation in the body, transport of nutrients, oxygen, formation of urine, dry skin, cell revitalization, aggravated by low water consumption. Its medicinal properties of secular knowledge and use also help human health, especially waters rich in sulfur, radioactive, magnesium, etc., can help in therapeutic treatments.
