Qualitative approach of high energy geothermal sources, North East of Algeria

摘要

"In Algeria there are several high-energy geothermal sources up to 150°C medium or low temperatures (between 30°C and 150°C);" A significant number is located in the north of Algeria, which are intended for different uses. The main purpose of communication is to characterize the thermal springs of Jebel Safia (North East Algeria). Three sources (temperature up to 40 ° C) and a drill were inventoried in the region, characterized by fractured formations. The fieldwork began in March 2008 and completed in August 2009. They were preceded by visits to field reconnaissance to locate the sources that make the object of study. The results of chemical analysis performed showed different hydro chemical facies due to clay and limestone formations constituting Jebel Safia.
