Abstract
There are 1032 hydrothermal systems in Hengduan Mountains of the south-western part of China. the of reservoir temperature by various geothermometcra, there are 30 - temperature hydrothermal systems with average temperature over more than 160 middle-temperature systems with average temperature of The sum of reservoir thermal energy in 30 high-temperature systems is about EJ and in 168 middle - temperature is about 2. 61 EJ by the method estimation. The high-temperature systems are of power exploitation potentiality. The Rehai (Hot Sea) geothermal field with hot source temperature of is the beat prospect for exploitation for electrical production.. The low-middle temperature systems can be diretly
