Description	Before the drilling operation commences for exploitation of any geothermal resources, prefeasibility investigations using geochemical and geophysical methods need to be carried out to have a better understanding of the subsurface geological and tectonic configuration of the region. In fact, geophysical exploration enables one to unravel the tectonic features and associated thermal regimes that host the geothermal reservoirs. Since drilling geothermal wells is expensive, geophysical methods bring down the cost to a certain degree. This is true in any underground exploration investigation for groundwater, mineral resources, mining activity, etc. Geophysical exploration methods help in indirectly obtaining the physical parameters (aquifer characteristics, depth of the reservoirs, temperatures of the reservoirs, area occupied by the geothermal reservoir, etc.) of the geothermal systems. Economical viability of geothermal resources can also be assessed through geophysical exploration. Book Name: Advances in Subsurface Pollution of Porous Media - Indicators, Processes and Modelling
