Abstract:Geothermal resources is a new type energy which collect heat, water and mineral resource as a whole. It has the characteristics of small pollution, easy exploration, small investment and environmental protection. In the plain areas in northwestern Shandong province, geothermal wells are concentrated in urban areas. Water intaking sections of geothermal wells in the same area ares are basically the same, development and utilization mode is single. There are no perfect recharge countermeasures, and tail water treatment process is simple, and sometimes geothermal water are even directly discharged. It has caused regional soil and water pollution in geothermal resources mining areas and discharging areas. In this paper, on the basis of surveying present condition of development and utilization of geothermal resources in the area, groundwater pollution situation in shallow and deep parts which may be caused in the process of development and utilization have been analyzed, and some prevention countermeasures and suggestions have been put forward as well.
