Zhang Ji, the project chief engineer and professor level senior engineer of the First Geological Brigade of Sichuan Province, introduced that the water source of the geothermal spring well comes from the infiltration and replenishment of atmospheric rainfall in the southwestern limestone outcrop area. It flows through karst crevices or pipelines along the catchment structure for long-distance runoff and deep circulation, continuously exchanging and convecting with the surrounding rock through physical and chemical interactions, thereby forming hot mineral water.

The project signifies a breakthrough in geothermal exploration in Sichuan, enriching the geothermal exploration theory in the surrounding areas of the Sichuan Basin, and providing a basis for further scientific development and utilization. "The relevant person in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Exploration and Development said that next, we will strengthen the summary and research of the geothermal genesis mechanism and conditions in the surrounding areas, and produce higher value scientific achievements.

The reporter learned from the scene that after passing the expert acceptance, the hot spring well will be used as water for the hot spring venues of Ya'an cultural and tourism projects such as Zhougongshan Hot Spring Park. At the same time, it will further promote the comprehensive utilization of geothermal mineral wells and improve the utilization rate of geothermal water.
