Bogatić (Serbian Cyrillic: Богатић, pronounced [bǒɡatitɕ]) is a town and municipality located in the Mačva District of western Serbia.
The nearest large settlement is Šabac, Mačva's administrative center, located 24.5 kilometers to the east.
A river network gravitates towards the town via the Sava, giving it the appearance of a fan with a knot when seen at Šabac.
It has the capacity of 25 L/s (330 imp gal/min) of hot water (75 °C (167 °F)), 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.
The pipes will be laid in the ringed system, needed to cool the water down to 55 °C (131 °F), 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.
In 1914, during World War I, Austro-Hungarian soldiers entered the village, committing massacres against the civilian population.
In mid-July 1941, a partisan detachment sought to liberate the village and nearby cities and towns was formed.
When they arrived, the partisans immediately seized the hidden weapons and shocked the local patrol, who surrendered without resistance.
