The hot springs of Peninsular Malaysia were studied to gather information on their associated geology, temperature, flow rate and water quality as well as to assess their potential development for tourism industry. The geological study indicated that most of the hot springs are located within or close to the granite rock and associated with fault zones. The temperature of the hot springs range from 27°C to 103°C with individual flow rate between 0.1 to 27.0 L/S. Chemical analysis indicated that all of the hot spring waters are relatively low in dissolved salts and metals.
Kajian menyeluruh ke atas mata air panas di Semenanjung Malaysia telah dilakukan untuk mendapatkan maklumat geologi, suhu, kadar aliran dan kualiti air panas serta potensi untuk dibangunkan bagi industri pelancongan. Kajian geologi menunjukkan kebanyakan mata air panas ini terletak di dalam atau berhampiran kawasan batuan granit dan berasosiasi dengan zon sesar. Air panas ini mempunyai julat suhu daripada 27°C hingga 103°C dan kadar aliran daripada 0.1 hingga 27.0 L/S. Analisis kimia menunjukkan kesemua air panas ini mengandungi kandungan garam dan logam terlarut yang rendah.
