Geothermal Technoecosystems and Water Cycles in Arid Lands.

摘要

Arid lands resource information paper no. 2, 'Exploration and Exploitation of Geothermal Resources in Arid and Semiarid Lands,'first issued in 1973,is now out-of-print. The intent of the present paper was to revise that earlier literature review with its annotated bibliography,by recognizing the unusual developments in this field in the interim,with new geothermal fields discovered,new demands for geothermal energy as an alternative source to more conventional sources,and a number of new publications reflecting accelerated research. The extensive bibliography accompanying this paper was produced by ALIS,and includes over one hundred references prepared by the Office of Arid Lands Studies.
