Abstrakt: The Elbasani region is characterized by its strong hydrodynamics regime, which comes from the powerful movements of underground water combined with many resources; therefore, the area has geothermal potential, and is one of the most popularly used in our country. This area has a number of sources, located in the form of a chain in the sector between Llixha and Hidrajt, and constitutes a thermomineral basin with a stable discharge and high temperature, at the upper limits of low enthalpy, reaching above 60 °C. The current average flow of thermal water is about 15-18 L/s and temperatures vary from 55 to 65 °C. It is estimated that these resources have specific reserves of 39.6 GJ/m² and the potential to install 2760 kW of power. To evaluate their basic physico-chemical parameters and nutrients, water samples were taken throughout 2022 at five monitoring stations, covering the entire aquifer. Stiff diagrams have been used to explain the similarities between the physico-chemical properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
