The Prospects are all located in the Albertine graben that runs along
the border of Uganda with the DRC.
The three areas were chosen for study because of their volcanic and
tectonic features that indicate heat sources and high permeability.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
•Filtering
Field activities continued…………
•Hot springs with flow over 0.5 L/s were preferentially sampled since
these were less likely to have been affected by dilution and evaporation.
•The fluids in the crater lakes and springs are saline and
alkaline and are probably concentrated by evaporation and/or
modified by near surface processes, but the reservoir fluids
may be more dilute. This is supported by the low salinity of
the geothermal waters sampled from the hot springs in the
Lake Kitagata crater as compared to its lake water.
