!Bhimbandh Bhimbandh is in Munger district of Bihar in India. This group of springs is situated at about 56 km from Munger town. They have the maximum temperature (52° C to 65° C) and discharge (0.84-1.12 cum/sec) and constitute the best area for the exploration of geothermal energy potential. It is also famous for Bhimbandh Wild Life Sanctuary. The forests covers an area of 681.99 sq km on the hills and undulating tract of Kharagpur Hills, south of river Ganga and is surrounded on all sides by non-forest densely populated areas. The vegetation of these forests is very rich where Sal, Kend, Semal and other trees grow side by side the hilly terrain. A host of animals such as Tiger, Leopards, Sloth Bear, Nilgai, Sambhar, Barking deer, Wild Beer, four horned Antelope are found in these forests. In the valley region and at the foothills are several hot springs of which the finest are at Bhimbandh, Sita Kund and Rishi Kund. All the hot springs maintain nearly same temperature round the year, and seasonal fluctuation of discharge is also nominal. All the thermal springs of sanctuary have a common geological frame. The spouts issue from the contact of massive guartzites (jointed and crushed) with states and phyllites (Kharagpur Group). All the springs are situated at topographic lows within the guartziter. The aqueducts formed due to fracturing are long and narrow zones of fissures and broken rocks.
