| Abstract | Hydrogeothermics of Slovakia is based on temperatures from 376 wells and on the heat flow density data determined in 136 wells. It is also based on hydrogeothermal data from 61 geothermal wells and on the data from hydrogeological and geological wells as well. The geologic setting in Slovakia is favorable for the occurrence of geothermal energy resources to the south of the Klippen Belt, i.e. in the Inner Carpathians. Heat flow density and geothermal gradient values fulfil economic limits for the geothermal water exploitation. The mean heat flow density is 82 mW.rn-í and aquifers can be reached mainly to the 3000 m depth. Mean transmissivity value of the most wide-spread aquifers (Triassic dolomites and limestones) is 3.10-3 m2.s-í. |
