Rich geothermal resources are hosted in the Yellow River Delta. The main type of thermal reservoir is pore heat storage. It has great potential for exploitation. At the same time, due to the poor formation and new soil layer in the Yellow River Delta, the problem of land subsidence caused by geothermal development has been paid more and more attention. The researches suggest that: The land subsidence in the Yellow River delta is related to the consolidation of the ground (soil) and the load of the building on the ground. And the development of geothermal resources has little effect on land subsidence. While the main cause of land subsidence is excessive exploitation of groundwater in the south of Guangrao.
