| Abstract |
The Geo-Heat Center recently completed the task of producing a state resource database for six states in the west. These states were: Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming. The databases were placed in a standard format for ease of use, which included the original state databases (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington). The reports of the original state teams and the new information from the additional six states documents a total of 11,775 wells and springs in the databases with the new states producing 2,731 more entries. The number of collocated sites increased to 404 from the previous 271 for the 10 states. The total of wells and springs with a temperature over 50 o C (122 o F) went from1723 to 2211, which is an increase of 28%. Some of the information included are depth, temperature, flow and water chemistry. All of this information is available on a CD. |
