Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Current Status and Future Perspective for Geothermal Water Utilization”.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a general overview of the geothermal water utilization as a renewable energy source and wide range of direction and indirection possibilities for geothermal water utilization, such as cascade systems, agriculture, aquaculture, water desalination, etc.
The benefits of geothermal water utilization and the present status of worldwide geothermal use will be discussed. In addition, the potential for future developments in this technological area will be discussed in detail, supported by case studies from all over the world.
This Special Issue will deal with geothermal water management and the wide range of its utilization, cascade systems, desalination, reuse technologies, and optimization of geothermal water management, to achieve sustainable development.
Prof. Dr. Barbara Tomaszewska
Guest Editor
