Šaratica
The bitter water Šaratica is a medicinal water from the Czech Republic . It is extracted from six wells south of the village of Šaratice and between Újezd u Brna , Žatčany , Nesvačilka , Těšany and Otnice . Its uranium content exceeds the maximum value required by foodwatch by a factor of twenty.
history
The sulfuric soda water was first used medicinally in 1888. After the Brno doctor František Veselý had arranged a chemical and bacteriological examination, the bitter water was declared medicinal water by the Wischau district captain in 1896 after a successful clinical trial phase . In the same year Veselý had a bottling plant built in Šaratice, which started production with 280 hectoliters per year. In 1910 the joint stock company Šaratica was formed, which took over the bitter water fountains at Šaratice and Nesvačilka from Veselý. Until the Second World War, the water was also exported to the German Empire, Austria and France. In the 1950s, the well operation was nationalized and part of the Moravsko-slezská zřídla state enterprise in Luhačovice . During this time, a new bottling plant was built in Sokolnice . In the 1970s, the highest production result was achieved with 24,500 hectoliters per year.
In the course of privatization, Helios Praha, sro acquired the wells on July 1, 1993. In July 2002, the Ondrášovka well operations near Sedm Dvorů and Šaratice were merged to form a company Ondrášovka sro based in Moravský Beroun . At the beginning of 2006, Ondrášovka sro merged with MARILA BALÍRNY as to form Ondrášovka as , based in Prague.
At present, 7000 hectoliters are filled annually in half-liter PET bottles. The maximum capacity is 18,000 hectoliters per year.
Chemical composition
It is used to cure constipation and indigestion. A chemical analysis in 2004 found a total mineralization of 13293 mg / l and an HCO content of 581 mg / l. Investigations by the Institute for Plant Nutrition and Soil Science of the Federal Research Center for Agriculture (FAL-PB - JKI) found a uranium content of 201 µg / l. According to Nürtingen Heinrichsquelle (474 µg / l), Šaratica was one of the two mineral waters with an extreme uranium content and exceeded the maximum value of 10 µg / l required by foodwatch and recommended by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) by twenty times. The mineral water is therefore not allowed on the market in Germany.
