The techniques for several direct to indirect applications of geothermal energy are described; such as power generation, desalination, honey processing, milk pasteurization, space heating and cooling, etc. This book covers the uses of geothermal water for industrial, domestic, and agricultural use. These applications increase the rate of employment in the rural and remote locations, in turn providing further societal benefits.The book also discusses the several base metal and rare earth element extractions using geothermal water, for example; lithium, zinc, manganese, and helium.This is an open access book.
