The effect of urban heat island on groundwater located in shallow aquifers of Kütahya city center and shallow geothermal energy potential of the region, Turkey

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021
As a result of urbanization, natural surfaces are replaced by artificial surfaces that trap heatsuch as buildings, pavements and asphalt, so residential areas have higher temperature values than rural areas. This effect, defined as the urban heat island,
