Overview of geothermal investigations in Idaho, 1980 to 1993 Item Info

The Idaho Water Resources Research Institute has compiled available geothermal resource data for the State of Idaho generated since the last state assessment published in 1980 by the Idaho Department of Water Resources. Data sources include state and federal agency reports, organizations under contract with the U. S. Department of Energy, company reports, research theses, and Idaho Department of Water Resources Well Driller's Report forms. This report summarizes the characteristics, occurrences and uses of thermal waters in Idaho which are documented by resource investigations conducted since 1980. Recommended areas for further investigation are briefly discussed. Additional products of this compilation include a DBase III Plus data set, a bibliography of Idaho geothermal resources, and a 1:1,000,000-scale geothermal resource map of Idaho. The data set includes 1554 entries for 1537 individual wells and springs; this information was derived from a variety of reports on geothermal investigations, from previous compilations and from well drillers' reports filed with the state between 1979 and 1993. The bibliography lists over 750 references on Idaho geothermal resources. The map presents the distribution of geothermal wells and springs included in the data set of this report.
