Analysis of the Genesis and Geothermal Resource Charac-teristics of Wa Nu Hot Springs in Shidian,Yunnan
Based on the geological background,hot spring water supply,runoff,and discharge conditions of the Wa Nu hot spring geothermal area in Shidian County,this study explores the geother-mal genesis of the Wa Nu hot spring.Based on water temperature,flow rate,and hydrochemical characteristics,the SiO2 temperature scale method was used to calculate the thermal storage temperature of the geothermal field.At the same time,the water circulation depth formula was used to calculate the circulation depth of Wa Nu Hot Spring,and the natural heat release of the hot spring was esti-mated.The study of Wa Nu Hot Springs is of great significance for improving geothermal research in Yunnan.
