Hydro-Geo-Bio-Chemical Investigation of Geothermal Springs for Baleneotherapy and Thermophile Studies: Odisha, India
Abstract: Hot springs had been of interest to religion, society, biology, and geology in past. The multi-faceted research on the hot spring is now expanded to extremophilic, microbial, metagenomic, water chemistry, food nutrition, agriculture and metallurgical investigations. Hot springs manifests at active places of past volcanism, tectonic activities, areas near shear zones, faults, fractures and fissures. The pressure gradient created between the crust and the atmosphere pipes out hot water. Hot springs (340numbers in India) has been identified in different fault /shear zones of India fromwestern/eastern Himalayas, SONATA zones in Peninsular India up toWestern ghats and Godavari garben. The State Odisha has 3, 3, 1 and 1 numbers of perrinial/intermitentsulphurous hot springs in it MSZ (Atri, Tarabalo & Deulajhari), NOBL (magarmunha, Banakhola & Badaberena), VSZ (Taptapani) and NSZ (Boden) respectively discharging
