| Abstract | The success of numerical models of the Wairakei geothermal field has usually been judged by their ability to match observed pressure and discharge enthalpy changes. A further constraint which has generally been overlooked is that models should be able to account for the observed gravity changes. The gravity changes predicted by 1-D verticaland 2-D radially symmetric models of Wairakei are compared to observed gravity charges and found to agree well. The agreement is improved by the inclusion of the extra dimension in the model. |
