In late 2006 the AGH-University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland published “Atlases of geothermal resources in the Polish Lowlands”. The Atlases were commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment and paid through the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. The Atlases represent a comprehensive and many-sided source of information on the occurrence, possibility of exploitation and utilization of geothermal waters and energy. The information included at the Atlases constitutes a source of knowledge for the academic staff and students specializing in energy problems and environment protection. It is also helpful for local authorities and specialists dealing with utilization of geothermal waters for various purposes. |
