Title: Chloride/magnesium ratio of shallow groundwaters as a regional geothermal indicator in Hawaii
Description: This report provides detail on the use of groundwater chemical compositions to identify the presence of natural geothermal leakage from deep thermal reservoirs into shallow groundwater supplies.  The ratio of chloride ion to magnesium ion was found to have a strong correlation to the presence of thermal water.
