Pos Hendrop hot spring is one of the hot springs in Lojing Highlands, in the state ofKelantan, Malaysia. The hot spring is located within the Main Range Granite and isamong the hottest hot spring in Malaysia. The aim of this paper is to discuss geoheritagepotentials and water quality of this hot spring. Desk study was carried out by reviewingsome literatures related to the topic and the study area. Field works were organized in January and August 2014 to collect data, samples, and photographs. This site hasgeoheritage values such as scientific, aesthetic, recreational, functional, and economicvalues. The in-situ water quality analysis which was conducted in 2014 during the dryand rainy seasons in Kelantan (January and August 2014) generally shows that the waterqualit y in t he measurement p oint s of t he hot sp ring area ranges from “ Class IIB” t o “Class V” based on t he Int erim Nat ional Wat er Qualit y St andard (INWQS) for M alay sia. T hishot spring also shows a good potential to attract the interests of geoscientists and generalpublic to visit the area. Some specific tourism and recreational activities can be done inthe site such as eggs boiling, bathing and heating, hot spring therapy, and skin treatment.It is recommended that this hot spring should be conserved and developed properly as a potential geoheritage site and for a sustainable geotourism development in LojingHighlands.

Natural hot spring is one of the recreational water. The public used it for recreation, relaxation, and therapy. The water quality should meet standards, such as free from microorganisms to prevent the onset of health complaints. This paper aimed to identify the pathogenic microorganisms and recreational water illness in natural hot spring users from worldwide studies. Method: This systematic review analysis use PRISMA Protocol as a guide to provide this article and PEO Framework to specified the criteria. Various database used to find those article is NCBI, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. In total of 10 eligible articles to analyse from 2010 -2020. Discussion: The result showed that hot spring users experienced health complaints after using hot springs contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms. The microorganisms identified were Naegleria spp, Naegleria fowleri, Legionella pneumophila, Vittaforma corneae, Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex (MAC), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Mycobacterium phocaicum. Recreation water illnesses identified were Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), Legionella pneumonia, Pseudomonas foliculitis, Pseudomonas mastitis, Microsporidial keratitis, Hot tub lung (HTL), and P. aeruginosa pneumonia. Besides the water quality, age, comorbid, and frequency of visiting hot springs were risk factors of recreational water illness. Conclusion: The onset of recreational water illness in users of hot springs was influenced by the quality of water microbiology and age.
