BOGATI\u0106<\/span><\/p>\n

Bogati\u0107<\/b> (Serbian Cyrillic: \u0411\u043e\u0433\u0430\u0442\u0438\u045b<\/span>, pronounced <\/small>[b\u01d2\u0261atit\u0255]<\/span>) is a town and municipality located in the Ma\u010dva District of western Serbia. As of 2011 census, it has 28,843 residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bogati\u0107 is located in the western part of Serbia. The nearest large settlement is \u0160abac, Ma\u010dva’s administrative center, located 24.5 kilometers to the east. Its distance from the capital, Belgrade, is 99.7 kilometers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bogati\u0107 is located along the northwestern part of the fertile and rich lands in Ma\u010dva. Two rivers flow through the town: the Drina from the west and the Sava from the north. Bogati\u0107 holds large amounts of groundwater underneath. The population heavily relies on their water supply from underground sources. A river network gravitates towards the town via the Sava, giving it the appearance of a fan with a knot when seen at \u0160abac. The climate in Bogati\u0107 is warm and temperate, classified as Cfb by the K\u00f6ppen-Geiger system. The average temperature is 11.5 \u00b0C and precipitation averages 704 mm annually.<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Bogati\u0107 is rich in geothermal springs and by the end of 2018, it should become the first town in Serbia which will use geothermal energy for district heating. The hot water (36 to 80 \u00b0C (97 to 176 \u00b0F)) was discovered in the early 1980s. Geothermal well BB1, one of 8 dug so far, will be used. It has the capacity of 25 l\/s (330 imp gal\/min) of hot water (75 \u00b0C (167 \u00b0F)), producing the energy equal to 63 tons of liquid fuel per day. The well is located almost in downtown, only 1.5 km (0.93 mi) from the objects that will be heated, which additionally lowers the cost of the project. For now, the heating system will include pre-schools, elementary schools, high schools, municipal and judicial buildings, communal companies and police. The pipes will be laid in the ringed system, needed to cool the water down to 55 \u00b0C (131 \u00b0F), but it will also allow for the future addition of other objects to the heating grid. The studies are still being conducted and the industrial complex, polyhouses and newer, energy efficient buildings might be added in the future.<\/sup> The final phase of the construction started on 16 July 2018.<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n
