| Abstract | Shallow reinjection into identified permeable zones above the producing Kawerau geothermal field in New Zealand is being considered for the disposal of waste separated geothermal fluids, Investigations to date indicate that this may be an economic and viable means of reducing contamination of the Tarawera River. Further testing and an examination of alternatives will be required before reinjection can be adopted as a long term means of geothermal waste disposal. |
