Abstract
Geothermal well systems utilize the thermal energy of clean groundwater of hydraulically highly conductive aquifers with water tables close to the surface. The thermal energy of water produced from the well can be extracted by means of heat pumps. Such systems are also called two-well-systems, water–water-heat-pump-systems, or groundwater heat pump. Geothermal well systems are a form of direct-use systems of near surface groundwater.
