Abstract
Geothermal energy is classified as a clean and sustainable energy source, like all industrial activities, geothermal energy power plants (GEPP) technology has also some positive and negative effects on the environment. In this paper are presented by attent not only on environmental impacts of GEPP onto Büyük Menderes River and fresh water sources, which ere used for irrigation of agricultural fields from tousands of years in basin, but also on water quality contents like heavy metals and gases emition due to drilling and electricity producing technology of GEPP's. Aydın province is located in the southwestern part of the region and its city center has around 300000 population. The high geothermal potential of this region became from geographical location, which is held on active tectonic Alpine-Himalaya Orogen belt with active volcanoes and young faults. Since 1980's to 2016 there is about 70.97% (662.75 MW) of installed capacity by according to the Mineral Research and Exploration General Directorate, there are totally 290 well licensed (540 explore licenses and 76 business licenses), and 31 geothermal powerplants purposely installed. Topic is important because of number of GEPP increased rapidly after 2012 to now a days to 36 in whole basin.
Highlights
A days Geothermal energy is called as clean and sustainable energy source some bad samples in the world
Geothermal energy is one of a clean and renewable resource, but it leads to B contaminated to irrigation water and soil during the electricity production or other process, by these way it may contain to drink water resources and it contains some gases which are important for gas emition for healthy of all living body
It is known that geothermal water contain boron and heavy metals at different levels and concentrations
Summary
A days Geothermal energy is called as clean and sustainable energy source some bad samples in the world. Like all industrial activities in the world it has positively and negatively effect on environment. The environmental effects may be temporary or irreversible and by include changes onto landscape and land use, by gases emissions into the atmosphere, on surfaces and subsurfaces water, noise, land subsidence, seismicity and solid-liquid rests and wastes
