Abstract
One of the most important parameters which must be studied at a geothermal field is the water delivery potential of the system. Generally, discharge of thermal springs is only a small part of the total water delivery potential. In order to estimate the potential hot water flow, estimation of the vertical water flow by using a temperatureprofile canbe one of the most important steps. In this study, an attempt was made to estimate the vertical velocity of thermal water by using a temperature profile in an homogeneous, isotropic and fully saturated layer.
