Jiangling Basin thermal waters (JS-W1, YC-W1)

Hubei, Jiangling Basin, China

Groundwater

Type
Groundwater

Two thermal springs (45 to 48 °C at the outlet), weakly mineralised (1.2 to 1.3 g/L) and poor in lithium (0.17 to 0.35 mg/L), with estimated reservoir temperatures of 57 to 87 °C (close to 70 ± 15 °C). Their δ7Li, close to Upper Cretaceous waters, serves as a comparison. Indicative coordinates.
