The emphasis is on the concept that all geothermal projects contain common elements of a thermal energy reservoir that must be properly designed and managed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is organized into four sections that examine geothermal systems: energy utilization from resource and site characterization; energy harnessing; energy conversion (heat pumps, direct uses, and heat
