Nevada - basic data for thermal springs and wells as recorded in Geotherm; Part A
James D. Bliss
1983, Open-File Report 83-433-A
GEOTHERM, a computerized information system now off-line, was used to maintain data on the geology, geochemistry and hydrology of geothermal sites primarily within the United States. The system was proposed at the First Geothermal Implementation Conference in New Zealand in 1974 (Swanson, 1977) and was active until 1983. The primary...
