Description:
The purpose of this book is to bring together in a single
volume current knowledge and basic data on geothermal energy resources in
the State of Arizona. We hope that our preliminary investigations, data
compilations, and models will provide investigators with a sound scientific
basis for future exploration and development work. For readers primarily
interested in understanding geothermal energy, what it is, and its sources
and occurrences in Arizona, we hope this volume provides helpful insights
into all aspects of this most fascinating alternate energy source.
Following the introductory chapter, this report is divided into
major sections as follow. Ch. 2, specific area investigations; Ch. 3,
thermal aspects of Arizona; Ch. 4, exploration methods. References
follow each section. Basic data not in this report can be found in the
original open-file reports, as referenced.
