Geothermal resources in Siirt and their opportunities for greenhouse

Abstract

It is known that hot water resources of Siirt province which is filled with various natural resources, have high potential. In order to determine the usage possibilities of Siirt thermal resources (hot water) and greenhouse cultivation, geothermal potential of Siirt province and the use of this resource especially in greenhouse cultivation have been determined by using the data of other related institutions (DSİ, Siirt Il Özel İdaresi), especially the Maden Tetkik ve Arama Genel Müdürlüğü (MTA). The geothermal resources of Siirt province; total number, distance to center, flow rate, water temperatures, depth properties were investigated. Siirt province geothermal resources are known in total 2, one of them is Lif and the other is Bilores which is the closet to center. Biloris water temperature of the geothermal source has 34.5 °C degree and the temperature of the Lif geothermal source is 33.1 °C. In terms of flow rate, which is as important as water temperature in greenhouse cultivation, the highest flow rate (90 L/second) belongs to Biloris source, Lif source was found to be the lowest flow rate (10 L/second). In addition, it was found that the well of the MTA, which is 696 m in depth, has a water temperature of 45 ° C and 7 L/second flow rate. It has been determined that these geothermal resources can be used in greenhouse cultivation in terms of number, area and water temperature and flow potential.
