geothermal resource management

Geothermal resource management involves carefully overseeing the extraction and use of heat from the Earth's interior to ensure sustainable energy production. It includes monitoring underground reservoirs to prevent depletion or environmental impacts, managing extraction rates, and reinjecting fluids to maintain pressure. Responsible management balances energy needs with environmental protection, ensuring the geothermal resource remains viable for long-term use, supports local ecosystems, and minimizes surface disturbances. Effective practices require scientific assessment, technology, and regulation to optimize geothermal benefits while safeguarding the Earth's subsurface and surrounding environment.
