Notes has been converted to a PDF file.1 Dynamic Database The Database of Geothermal Resources in Eastern Europe includes: The Database is designed to be dynamic. Created using Microsoft® Access 2000, it can be easily updated or • Power Profile - basic information on population, modified to include specific data which the industry would GDP, installed capacity, electricity prices, etc.; find most useful. In addition, the Database can be made more comprehensive by adding pertinent data, e.g., local • Power Summary - description of the power sector population and market data, location of transmission lines and privatization efforts; and roads, etc., using the Geographic Information System (GIS), to the present structure. • Government / Legislation - relevant government agencies and laws; and To date, BL&A has conducted similar extensive surveys of geothermal resources in Latin America and the • Geothermal Sites / Projects - a Site Summary for Caribbean, Turkey, Poland, China, Hungary, Russia, and each: the Balkans, building Microsoft® Access 2000 databases for each. The databases could be adapted for posting on 1. Name the World Wide Web and searched using a variety of 2. Location variables, e.g., country, temperature of resource, estimated 3.
