Abstract:Exploration of geothermal resource is very important in reasonable use of natural resource. It can relieve intense condition of energy and promote sustainable development of economy. On the basis of collecting previous information of regional geology, hydrology geology and geothermal geology, by using magnetotelluric sounding (MT) method, stratigraphy, the occurrence and spatial distribution of main fault structures, the stratigraphy around the faulted zone, karst reservoirs and geothermal and geological conditions of southern areas in Qihe county have been studied and gained a good result. It will provide realiable basis for determining well location.
