Geochemical and geophysical investigations were carried out to obtain more evidence of the potential of geothermal resources in Chunxiao Town (China). Hydrochemical data indicate the possible existence of mixing process between deep geothermal water and shallow groundwater. Analysis with SiO2 geothermometer shows that the geothermal reservoir temperature was estimated around 40–60 °C. In addition, combination investigations with CSAMT, radioactive radon, and soil thermal-released mercury detection reveal the specific location of the conduction fractures for thermal water circulation. Furthermore, the drilling work shows the deep thermal water temperature of >55 °C and the thermal water yield of 300 m3/d. All these results could provide important guidance for the scientific exploration and effective utilization of geothermal resources in coastal area.

The aim of this work is to determine the thermal storage temperature of a deep thermal reservoir, which has a great significance for the effective utilization of geothermal resources. The temperature of the reservoir was estimated by the cation ratio geothermometer and SiO2 geothermometer methods. The results indicate that the K–Mg geothermometer is the best method of the cation ratio methods, with the calculated temperature of 108°C. The average value calculated by the SiO2 method was 107°C. The measured temperature of the GRY1 drilling water sample in the Cangxian arch belt was 108°C. Because the calculated results of the geothermometers were consistent with the measured value of the borehole water, the K–Mg and SiO2 geothermometers are suitable for the estimation of deep heat storage temperatures.

<p class="BodyA">South Manokwari Regency is a new autonomous region in West Papua Province with abundant natural resources. As a new autonomous region South Manokwari Regency will be experiencing significant population growth. Population growth along with development and modernization will give burden to electricity demand. Alternatively, electricity can be provided with geothermal resources in Momiwaren District. Based on survey conducted by the government through the Geology Resources Centre in 2009, the reservoir temperature of the geothermal sources is 84<sup>o</sup>C with non volcanic geothermal system.

Hydrogeochemical Characterization

Geo-thermalism has been widely recognized on the Baja California Peninsula, especially during the last decade. The current research, carried out on Bahia Concepcion, evidences the existence of geothermal springs, which get recharged mainly by groundwater and seawater. The groundwater can be characterized as Na+-Cl− and Na+-HCO3− type, with a pH value close to neutrality. The slightly more acidic thermal sites presented temperatures between 32 °C and 59 °C at the surface. Based on the relationships of the Cl− and Br−, as well as the B/Cl−, and Br−/Cl− ratios, seawater was recognized as the main source of salinity. The spatial distribution is explained directly through marine intrusion, or via sprays and aerosols within the rainwater. Seawater ratios in thermal springs varied from 62% to 83%, corresponding mainly to shallow inflow, but seawater inputs into the deep thermal reservoir were also recognized. Temperatures in the geothermal deep reservoir were inferred from 114 to 209 °C, calculated through the SiO2 and Na+-K+ geothermometers. In addition to previously reported thermal sites at Bahía Concepción, and based on their elevated temperatures, two new sites were identified. Another five springs do not fulfill the commonly used definition, based on differential temperature, but show the typical hydrogeochemical signature of thermal water. A new approach to identify this low-temperature geothermal-influenced spring water by its hydrogeochemical composition is presented, for which the term “Masked Geothermal Waters” (MGW) is introduced. Our findings increase the area of the geothermal anomaly and, therefore, the potential of geothermal resources. The approach proposed in this research will also be useful to identify more MGW in other coastal areas.

Telah dilakukan penelitian air-tanah di Kawasan Nuklir Pasar Jumat (KNPJ) menggunakan metode hidrokimia dan isotop alam. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengambil sejumlah sampel air di beberapa kawasan KNPJ dan sekitarnya. Sampel air tersebut kemudian dianalisis konsentrasi kimia airnya (anion-kation) dan konsentrasi isotop alam d2H dan d18O menggunakan alat lasser counter. Analisis kimia air dilakukan menggunakan metode ion kromatografi dan titrasi. Tujuan penelitian ini, yaitu untuk mengetahui karakteristik air-tanah terhadap kemungkinan interaksi dengan air permukaan sekitarnya. Berdasarkan hasil analisis hidrokimia (anion-kation) dan isotop alam (d2H, d18O) menunjukkan bahwa air-tanah dalam masih mencerminkan karakter sebagai air-tanah segar atau freshwater. Air-tanah akuifer dalam juga terindikasi tidak berhubungan dengan air-tanah akuifer dangkal yang berada di atasnya. Air-tanah dangkal, sebagian besar masih menunjukkan karakter air-tanah segar dan sebagian lainnya, yaitu SB-8, SB-9, dan SB-10, air-tanahnya mengalami pertukaran ion dan interaksi dengan air permukaan. Air permukaan untuk SB-8 diperkirakan berasal dari rembesan larutan pupuk tanaman sedangkan untuk SB-9 dan SB-10 air permukaan diperkirakan berasal dari rembesan tanki kotoran (septic tank). Groundwater research has been conducted in Nuclear Area of Pasar Jumat (KNPJ) using hydrochemical data and natural isotopes methods. The research was conducted by taking a number of water samples in some areas of KNPJ and also its surrounding areas. The water samples were then analyzed its hydrochemical concentration (anion-cation) and natural isotope concentration d2H and d18O using lasser counter device. Water chemical analysis was conducted by using ion chromatography and titration methods. The purpose of this research is to know the characteristics of groundwater to the possibility of its interaction with the surrounding surface water. Based on the results of hydrochemical analysis (anion-cation) and natural isotopes (d2H, d18O) indicates that groundwater still reflects the character as fresh groundwater or freshwater. The deep aquifer groundwater is also indicated to be unrelated to groundwater of shallow aquifers located above it. While most shallow groundwater still show the character of fresh groundwater, and some others namely SB-8, SB-9, and SB-10, the groundwater undergo ion exchanges and interact with surface water. Surface water for SB-8 is estimated come from the seepage of the liquid plant fertilizer, whereas for SB-9 and SB-10 surface water is estimated come from septic tank seepage.

Abstract In order to collect and unify data about all geothermal resources in Serbia, a database is formed. The database allows us to perceive the geothermal resources of Serbia and their potential for utilization. Based on the data available in the geothermal database, the estimated temperatures of reservoirs, heat power, and geothermal energy utilization were calculated. The database contains 293 objects (springs, boreholes) registered at 160 locations with groundwater temperature in the range between 20°C and 111°C. The maximum expected temperature of the reservoir is 146°C (according to the SiO2 geothermometer). Some thermal water is cooled while mixed with cold, shallow water. Geothermal resources are mostly used for balneology and recreation, and less for heating, water supply, bottling, fish and animal farms, agriculture, and technical water. 26% of all geothermal resources is used by the local population or has not been used at all. The annual utilization of geothermal energy for direct heat is 1507 TJ/yr, and the estimated capacity of geothermal energy in Serbia is 111 MWt. The results of analytical work were presented in the form of maps with a geological and hydrogeological background. Thermal waters are mostly registrated in the area of Tertiary magmatism. The three geothermal potential areas are identified: Pannonian basin-Vojvodina Province, Mačva-Srem and area from Jošanička Banja to Vranjska Banja (southern Serbia). Based on chemical analyses, four hydrochemical facies are distinguished. Thermal water mainly belongs to NaHCO3 or CaMgHCO3 hydrochemical facies, usually depending on the primary aquifer: karst, karst-fissured, intergranular or fissured.
