Digital data from USGS OFR 83-250: Selected data for low-temperature (less than 90 degrees C) geothermal systems in the United States; reference data for U.S. Geological Survey Circular 892

The data in the csv and text files provided in this release are an update to the data tables originally published in USGS Open-File Report (OFR) 83-250 (https://doi.org/10.3133/cir892). Those data were published as paper tables and have until now only been available as pdf image documents that were not machine readable. USGS OFR 83-250 presented data for 2071 geothermal sites which are representative of 1168 low-temperature geothermal systems identified in 26 states. The low-temperature geothermal systems consist of 978 isolated hydrothermal-convection systems, 148 delineated-area hydrothermal-convection systems, and 42 delineated-area conduction-dominated systems. The basic data and estimates of reservoir conditions are presented for each geothermal system, and energy estimates are given for the accessible resource base, resource, and beneficial heat for each isolated system. This electronic version of USGS OFR 83-250 tables includes several changes. Typographical errors were corrected. The location accuracy of many wells and springs was improved by comparing the original locations with other databases and with USGS topographic maps. Charge balance and additional geothermometer calculations made by the original authors that have become available since the original publication were also included.
