Relizane has many hot sources, with an estimated number of around (26) sources distributed throughout the territory of the wilaya, especially in the mountainous areas (Al ouarsenis , Al-Dhara and Bani Shograne) and along the valleys and streams.Taking into account the uniqueness of the waters of these sources with unique therapeutic properties for certain incurable and chronic diseases, they have become a pole of attraction for inhabitants of all social strata and all ages in search of comfort and treatment. , especially in spring and summer, when its water is exploited in a traditional and random way, which has worsened its situation. Over time, due to the lack of direct and indirect protection zones, which made it vulnerable to various types of pollution, as most of them are exposed to flooding, especially those located near the banks of the rivers. valleys There is also a total deficit in reception facilities at the level of these feverish sources in the state.The richness of this natural heritage is not only possible in its abundance but in its diversity, where the presence of almost different mineral water species is recorded and the temperature recorded when the water emerges at the surface reaches ( 51 ° C).Studies were conducted on four feverish sources in the state by the National Foundation for Tourism Studies in 1984:1-Hammam Sidi Bouabdellah (douar Sidi Ibrahim) Municipality of Sidi Khattab, Landfill District: Its temperature at emission is (51 ° C) and the flow is estimated at (04 L / s) and its water contains a high percentage of sodium chlorate and bicarbonate.2-Ain El Jenia bath (Douar Awlad Sidi Ibrahim): the town of Sidi Khattab, the landfill district: it contains a high percentage of chlorate and sodium bicarbonate, and the water temperature of Ain El Genieh at emission is (48 ° C), where the flow rate is estimated at (30 l / s).3-Ain Mentila bath: Ami Musa commune, Relizane state, and its water temperature is (31 ° C) and its flow rate is estimated at (06 L / s).It became clear through the study of identification and categorization of new areas and extension sites in the state that the source and the surrounding area administratively belong to the municipality of the stadium, the state of Tissemsilt, where the local authorities of the state of Relizane seek to include it in its administrative territory, and this because it cannot be exploited by the state of Tissemsilt due to the difficulty of access to it and that is due to the lack of paths leading to the source and to the region as a whole from side of the state of Tissemsilt.4-Bani Issad bath: (Bani Issaad roundabout) Municipality of Mundas: The temperature of the water at the emission is estimated at (30 ° C), and according to the classification of specialists, the water from this source is medium temperature water rich in chlorine, sodium, sulfur and calcium ions, its flow rate is estimated at (06 L / Tha).
