Description
This report describes the location, physical setting, hydrochemistry, and geothermometry of ten thermal springs or wells in the Rico Group and West Fork Group of the Dolores River areas of Colorado. Geothermometry is a technique used to estimate the subsurface temperature of a geothermal reservoir, or the most recent temperature at which the water has undergone chemical reactions. This information is useful in geothermal exploration when considering...
