青藏高原的地下水资源同样十分丰富。初步估算有1783亿立方米,占地表水的28．2%。由于青藏高原大多地处山区,地下水基本都流向低处的河流或湖泊。在计算上述地表水资源时,有约1778亿立方米已补给了河流。青藏高原地下水具有类型多样,受人类活动影响小,水质好等特点。受新构造运动的影响,不少地区有丰富的地热资源,温泉、沸泉众多。羊八井地热田业已开发。 The groundwater resources of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are equally abundant. Preliminary estimates of 178.3 billion cubic meters, accounting for 28.2% of surface water. Since most of the Tibetan Plateau is located in mountainous areas, groundwater basically flows to lower rivers or lakes. In calculating the above-mentioned surface water resources, about 178.8 billion cubic meters have been supplied to rivers. The groundwater in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is characterized by various types, little influence by human activities and good water quality. Affected by the new tectonic movement, many areas have abundant geothermal resources, hot springs and boiling springs. Yangbajing geothermal field has been developed.
