Abstract
This survey probes the geothermal resources of a large (50 by 170 km) area in the Tucumhn province, Argentina. The main interpretive tools used are stable isotope compositions, and the Na-K-Ca/Mg and CCG cationic geothermometers. Forty-one water samples from 40 water wells and 1 river were collected and analyzed. -results clearly indicate the presence oT. waters of geothermal origin, and widespread thermalism. Commercial-size ìhot spotsî with temperatures appropriate Äor niost direct applications and for binary-cycle technology electric power production, are indicated by the survey results.
