Abstract	Trace element signature in the thermal waters from India's west coast geothermal province brought out distinct circulation regime within the province. The northern group of thermal springs circulate within the Deccan volcanic flows with geothermal gradients and heat flow values contributed by the mantle below the Deccan. The southern group of thermal springs circulate within the Precambrian granites, registering high B content. Thus, the earlier held view that the entire west coast geothermal province host geothermal reservoirs within the Deccan volcanic flows is not valid. The west coast geothermal province thus has two distinct sub-provinces: one controlled the basalt flows and the other controlled by the high heat generating granites.
