Thermal ground-water discharge and associated convective heat flux, Bruneau-Grand View area, southwest Idaho
The Bruneau-Grand View area occupies about 1100 square miles in southwest Idaho. The area has a rural population dependent on ground-water irrigation. Temperature of the ground water ranges from 15/sup 0/C to more than 80/sup 0/C. Ground water for irrigation is obtained from flowing and pumped wells. Discharge of thermal ground water from 104 irrigation wells and 5 hot springs in 1978 was about 50,500 acre-feet. Convective heat flux from the geothermal system associated with this discharge was 4.97x10/sup 7/ calories per second.
