Detailed hydrogeological explorations of Buk karst spring catchment area, located in the foot of the Rtanj Mountain in eastern Serbia, were conducted for the purpose of bottling. Biggest part of the spring catchment is composed of karst terrain, characterized with pronounced permeability that combined with other factors generally lead to high groundwater vulnerability and high risk of pollution. For the purpose of providing good quality groundwater with long term stability in physic-chemical parameters, two exploitation wells with depths of over 150 m were installed. Well with capacity of 2 l/s is in use for heating and cooling of the bottling facility, while second well with capacity of 6 l/s is used for production of “Aqua Ultima” bottled water. This paper shows main steps and methodology for hydrogeological research in the purpose of analysis and identification of hydrogeological system in the “Euroaqua” groundwater source area. This analysis is proved to be essential in assessing the potential for multipurpose use of this natural resource.
