Based on the heat storage model,the geothermal resources are calculated and evaluated.The result shows that the exploitable hot water in the Minghuazhen Formation heat storage area is 1.63×10 7 m3/a,and the annual exploitable heat energy in hot water is 2.76 ×10 8 kWt.The annual recoverable hot water of Guantao Formation heat storage area is 1.79×10 7 m3/a,and the annual utilizable heat energy in hot water is 7.12×10 8 kWt.Based on the analysis of geological background condition,geothermal and geological bound-ary condition,characteristics of thermal reservoir aquifers,characteristics and dynamic characteristics of geo-thermal fluid flowing field,and geochemical characteristics of geothermal fluid in the study area,the devel-opment and utilization prospect and advantages of geothermal resources are evaluated,which can provide a basis for further exploration of geothermal water in the favorable areas and long-term planning of geothermal resources.
