Evaluation of groundwater hydrogeochemical characteristics

The use of geothermal energy in Tunisia is limited to its instant use because of the low enthalpy resources, especially in the southern part of the country. The Djerid Basin has remarkable geothermal resources with low to moderate temperatures that have been used only for irrigation of oases and heating greenhouses.

Geothermal Water Cooling Systems in Tunisia

Tunisia. The small part localized in Tunisia is distinguished by an aquifer (more than 1000 m of depth) with high pressure (10 bars) and temperature reaching 70°C. The geothermal water resources have been estimated for 550 Mm3/year with a TDS range from 2.5 to 5g/l (H Zebidi, 1991.) The Complexe Terminal CT, with geothermal aquifers, lies

How is geothermal energy used in Tunisia?

In Tunisia, because of the low enthalpy resources, the use of geothermal energy is limited to direct utilization, especially in agriculture. The resources are localized mainly in the southern part of the country (Kebili, Gabes and Tozeur regions) and utilized mostly for agricultural purposes.

Can geothermal energy supply remote communities of Tunisia in fresh water?

We prove that geothermal energy is appropriate to supply remote communities of the southern Tunisia in fresh water. Moreover, it is environmentally friendly and economically competitive. Geothermal energy, when it is available with sufficient enthalpy, is best suited to continuous thermal desalination.

What is geothermal exploitation in Tunisia?

In Tunisia, according to Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources, the General Direction of Water Resources report (DGRE, 2005), about 1143 millions m3 are exploited from geothermal resources, 76% of which are used for agricultural purposes, 19% for water drinking and 5% for industry and tourism. This exploitation differs from region to region.

How many geothermal provinces are there in Tunisia?

Geological setting Tunisia is subdivided into five great "geothermal provinces" (Fig. la): the Northern province (PI), the North-Eastern province (PII), the Central province (PIII), Chott's province (PIV) and the Southern province (PV).

Why do we use cooling towers in Tunisia?

Southern Tunisia is better known for its direct use of geothermal water in agriculture and domestic ends. The temperature of the geothermal water exhausting from the boreholes is quite high for its use in irrigation purposes, water temperatures range from 45 to 70°C. This is the reason to use cooling towers, widely practiced all over the region.

What aquifer salinity is found in southern Tunisia?

Aquifer salinity in southern Tunisia, in g/I. 5 t.aO "-.--.I 318 ftamed Ben Dhia I geothermal gradients, applied in southern i'unisia by using the numerous oil wells. The geothermal gradient ranges from 2.1 to 4.6/100 m. The maximum underground temperature, 150 at 3500 m depth, was found in the deepest regional aquifer (Triassic).
