New monitoring results (2000-2002) of the thermomineral water outflow and quality regime of the Nikoličevo Spa (eastern Serbia) show that, during 30 years, a scaling process occurred and decreased the well outflow by app. 80%, as a consequence of well deterioration and reservoir depletion. Consequently (slower water movement), the water temperature increased by 1,5-2°C. Stabile values of the outflow and water quality parameters, registered during new monitoring, show an insignificant influence of the annual meteorological cycle on the outflow and quality regime. According to its chemical composition, the water is sodiumbicarbonate- fluoride, oligomineral and isothermal and a wide spectrum of applications is available. The limit for an efficient exploitation and application of the water is the current low outflow rate, so the drilling of new wells is recommended
