Abstract

A hydrogeological study of a natural hot spring at Sembawang, Singapore, has been undertaken, including boreholes of up to 100 m in depth, pumping tests, water chemistry analyses and temperature monitoring. The paper describes the investigations undertaken at the site, presents the data obtained and discusses a postulated hydrogeological and hydrothermal system of which the hot spring is a part.
