Abstract
This article explores the hydro geochemistry of geothermal systems and its pivotal role in the journey from exploration to sustainability in harnessing geothermal energy. Geothermal energy, derived from the Earth's heat, offers a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Hydro geochemical methods are integral in the identification of geothermal resources, utilizing various parameters to characterize subsurface fluid compositions and rock properties. Key hydro geochemical indicators, such as chemical composition, isotopic analysis, and scaling and corrosion potential, aid in resource assessment. Subsequently, hydrogeochemistry continues to be instrumental in optimizing reservoir management and ensuring the sustainability of geothermal energy production. The article underscores the importance of sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact, mitigate subsidence, and ensure the long-term viability of geothermal resources.
