This report describes the results of the geological models, which serve as a frame for the hydrogeological and geothermal models. Although the problems of transboundary thermal water utilization can be locally confined, they are rather connected to distant hydrogeological processes. Therefore the modelling activity had to be done at two different scales. The so called Supra regional model includes the entire project area and manages the complete area in a uniform system approach. Five Regional or Pilot areas were chosen, where local models had been developed. They focus on the local transboundary problems, and the detailed geological characteristics of the areas. These areas are the following (Figure 1). • Vienna Basin • Danube Basin • Komarno-Sturovo area • Lutzmansburg-Zsira area • Bad Radkensburg-Hodos area 2 Project area definition The same aspects were considered to outline the different area boundaries, both at the supra-regional and local scales. The most important consideration of the outlining was to define natural model boundaries. Assigning the contours of the model areas the following aspects were taken into consideration: • Geological framework of the areas, • Important tectonic structures • Recharge areas, connecting the thermal water system (the recharge areas do not include the entire mountain regions, only the regions where the main thermal water bearing layers outcrop at the surface), • Rivers as main discharges, • Contours of groundwater bodies, • Groundwater divides The final borders of the model areas consist of the mixture of different boundary types mentioned above. The supra-regional model area encompasses the main geothermal reservoirs of the NW Pannonian Basin and the adjacent areas where the different natural and human processes have effects on the geothermal systems. Within the project area several sub-regions of enhanced hydrogeothermal utilization potential (pilot areas) have been identified and investigated in a more detailed way. The pilot areas usually form geological or hydrogeological units. The Vienna Basin is a deep sedimentary basin surrounded by mountains, the outer border of the Eastern Alps and 3 Central West Charpatians. It joins to the Danube Basin at the SSE edge. The Danube Basin is a deep sedimentary basin too. The border of the model area was appointed along the pinch out, truncation and thinning of sedimentary formations. Due to the location of its recharge area, it locally overlaps to the Komarno-Sturovo model area. This latter one was outlined along regional fault systems which often coincide with the border line of groundwater bodies. The Bad-Radkersburg-Hodos model area is mainly bordered by tectonic structures too, forming a tectonic halftrench. The Lutzmansburg-Zsira model area is not connected to a specific geologic or hydrogeologic unit. The western border of the area forms the margin of the Neogen basin. The other parts are appointed along artifical borders, taking into account that the area includes the important Hungarian spa „Bük”. The vertical boundary of the geological models has been defined at the depth of 8000 m below see level. The Supra regional and Pilot areas are shown on Fig. 1. Fig. 1. The supra-regional and the pilot model areas Figure 2 shows the generally used geographical names and morphological conditions of the whole project territory. It is characteristically a lowland and basin area, the recharge mountainous regions have only marginal positions. Two capitals of the partner countries lie on the supra area, Vienna and Bratislava, but numerous populated citys are in it i.e. Gy őr, Graz, Maribor. 4 Fig. 2. Often used geographical terms in the project area 3 Geological modelling in general In the following, we demonstrate the main features and steps of creating the geological models at different scales. 3.1 Scales and workflow The final products scales of the Supra regional and Regional area models are the following: Supra regional area 1:500 000, Surface geology 1: 200 000 Danube basin 1:200 000, Vienna Basin 1:200 000, Lutzmasburg-Zsira 1:100 000, Bad Radkensburg-Hodos 1:200 000, Komarno-Sturovo 1:200 000. The applied workflow can be seen on Figure 3. The greyish columns represent work months. The workflow could be devided into 3 parts: 1) Evaluation and systematization of geological data, 2) Correlation among data systems, 3) Geological modelling. Note the double headed arrows that figure the necessary iterative processes which were the most time- consuming working steps. 5 Fig. 3. Workflow chart of geological modelling. The greyish columns are work months. The country codes after Pilot area models show, that each Pilot area model was dedicated to responsibility of different partner countries. 3.2 Correlation of the formations One of the first data harmonization steps had to be the correlation of different formations.
