| Abstract | The of the With the model in which the geothermal waters as groundwater drainage Field. Resistivity mapping with the shows a well area of low surrounding the thermal features. Over mostof its perimeter, this resistivity has sharp comparablewith Geothermal Field, about 10 km to the south. Such boundaries are also seen in the penetration bipoledipole resistivity data. resistivity soundingsmade at Waiotapu and show the characteristics typical of high geothermal fields, and are quite different from those in the region between these areas. This resistivity is not characteristic of an zone but suggests that an upflow of geothermal fluids occurs at We conclude that is an independent geothermalfield. |
