Understanding origins and circulation regime of water in shallow part of the earth is important for various issues relevant to sustainability of human society, such as groundwater use as a freshwater resource, utilization of geothermal energy and ground-source heat as renewable energies, and geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste. From these points of view, the authors conduct researches to elucidate origins and circulation regime of groundwater and geothermal fluid in both shallow and deep underground at home and abroad, through field survey and sampling, analyses of geochemical indices including environmental tracers, model development by combining geological information, and numerical simulation. This presentation shows the applied methods and obtained results in groundwater study in the Kyoto basin and geothermal study in four geothermal fields such as Wayang Windu and Patuha, around the Bandung basin in Indonesia, that aimed estimation of origins and spatial-temporal circulation regime of groundwater and geothermal fluid in those areas.
