"Hydrogeology has traditionally been regarded as the province of the water industry, but it \r\nis increasingly finding novel applications in the energy sector. Hydrogeology has a longstanding role \r\nin geothermal energy exploration and management. Although aquifer management methods can be \r\ndirectly applied to most high-enthalpy geothermal reservoirs, hydrogeochemical inference techniques \r\ndiffer somewhat owing to peculiarities of high-temperature processes. Hydrogeological involvement in \r\nthe development of ground-coupled heating and cooling systems using heat pumps has led to the emergence of the sub-discipline now known as thermogeology. The patterns of groundwater flow and heat \r\ntransport are closely analogous and can thus be analysed using very similar techniques. Without resort to \r\nheat pumps, groundwater is increasingly being pumped to provide cooling for large buildings; the renewability of such systems relies on accurate prediction and management of thermal breakthrough from reinjection to production boreholes. Hydrogeological analysis can contribute to quantification of accidental \r\ncarbon emissions arising from disturbance of groundwater-fed peatland ecosystems during wind farm \r\nconstruction. Beyond renewables, key applications of hydrogeology are to be found in the nuclear sector, \r\nand in the sunrise industries of unconventional gas and carbon capture and storage, with high temperatures attained during underground coal gasification requiring geothermal technology transfer."^^ .
