Basics On Hydropower: The term geothermal comes from the Greek geo
meaning earth and therine meaning heat thus geothermal energy is energy derived
from the natural heat of the earth. The earth’s temperature varies widely, and
geothermal energy is usable for a wide range of temperatures from room temperature
to well over 300° F. For commercial use, a geothermal reservoir capable of
providing hydrothermal (hot water and steam) resources is necessary. Geothermal
reservoirs are generally classified as being either low temperature (<150° C) or
high temperature (>150° C). Generally speaking, the high temperature reservoirs
are the ones suitable for, and sought out for commercial production of
electricity. Geothermal reservoirs are found in “geothermal systems” which are
regionally localized geologic settings where the earth’s naturally occurring heat
flow is near enough to the earth’s surface to bring steam or hot water to the
surface. Examples of geothermal systems include the Geysers Region in Northern
California, the Imperial Valley in Southern California, and the Yellowstone Region
in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. / (added 09/2005) |

since ancient times to grind corn and also to raise water. The great waterwheels

Flowing water was used to turn the wheel and water held in buckets on the rim was
lifted to great heights to spill over into channels, which irrigated the land
further away. These great wheels where often built to huge proportions, because
water was raised on their rims. / (added 09/2005) |
