Steam or hot water deposits exist in relatively shallow depths within the earth's crust and can be used directly or by boreholes; the state of engineering allows the conversion into electric power or for a domestic and agricultural utilization. The maintenance of water pressure in a geothermal deposit requires the water injection : it is intended to exploit the heat and not the water. There are two principal types of geothermal deposits : the deposit of high enthalpy, the deposit of low enthalpy. 2, record 2, English, - geothermal%20deposit
