HYDROGEOLOGICAL AND HYDROGEOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF ILICA (BALIKESIR) GEOTHERMAL FIELD

This study includes the first conceptual modeling studies in Ilıca Geothermal Region of Balıkesir Province. The hydraulic behavior and groundwater properties geothermal field were analyzed by modeling. For this purpose, he used Visual Modflow Flex software 3D studies. Physical-chemical parameters flow velocity from sources Faults geological units mapped to describe system. All data digitized on a scale 1/25000. Also, is conceptually defined. perimeter divided into 400 cells 20 x units. area each cell designed be 67.85 m m. Approximately 4.6 km2 has been studied. According obtained, aquifer fed cracked hollow sections marble schists. heater body thought granite pluton found region. Cover rocks system are young sedimentary Existing meteoric waters enter underground through cracks region, warm up with short path carried surface faults.
