Statewide geothermal resource assessment : Circular C-103

A Geothermal Resources Technical Committee was formed to assist the Department of Land and Natural Resources in locating geothermal resources for electrical power generation. Participants were selected on the basis of their expertise in the field of geothermal resources in Hawaii. Technical Committee members met in a series of meetings held on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii to evaluate currently available geotechnical data relevant to the assessment and identification of potential geothermal resource areas. The statewide geothermal resource assessment, as mandated by Act 296, SLH 1983, was made on a county-by-county basis and was based on a qualitative interpretation of regional surveys and ·available exploratory drilling data
