1 gen 1930 anni - Drilling holes to get hot water became common

Descrizione:

Drilling for hot water began in the Laugardalur valley at the ”The washing springs” in Reykjavík. These boreholes were the first to provide hot water to local schools, hospitals, swimming pools and 60 houses in the East end of Reykjavík. Many towns followed suit and today over 90% of buildings are heated using geothermal energy.
