| Abstract | Within the framework of the activities aimed at studying current and future exploitation and the related sustainability of geothermal resources, the Working Group IDROGEOTER was set-up within the IAH Italian Chapter. The first activity of IDROGEOTER‘s workplan is the analysis of state of the art in current use of low-to high enthalpy geothermal resources in Italy. Detailed studies supporting the possible optimization of the use of geothermal resources, carried out in different areas are described in the paper, with details regarding the Veneto Region (NE Italy). Further studies and inventory of data and applications will be part of the activities of IDROGEOTER, which will also include the preparation of a proposal of guidelines for hydro-geothermal studies. |
