Geophysical and Geological Survey to Plan a Low Enthalpy Geothermal System. The Case Study of Borgo Isonzo—Latina Italy

Abstract

In this study we present a field case in which, through geological and geophysical survey a detailed modelling of the subsurface is defined with the aim to design a geothermal plant. The hydrogeological characteristics were inferred by geological survey and geophysical data collected by electrical resistivity tomography. Model results allowed us to perform a numerical simulation to design a Ground Water Heat Pump plant where particular attention was paid in combining the use of natural resources with environmental protection granting maximum benefit withdrawing.
