Summary

Protection and creation of environment. Alternative energy resources.
Geothermal energy – history and perspectives of utilization. Economical
evaluation. Geothermal systems – thermoenergic potential of geothermal waters,
high and low – temperature resources (heat pumps, volumetric and through –
flow
supply capacity), geothermal objects. Location of a potential geothermal
energy
resources. Evaluation of the locality as the possible source of geothermal
energy. Technical evaluation of the locality. Ecological effects – waste water
disposal (liquidation).
