Abstract
The Pauzhetka hydrothermal system is located in a volcano tectonic depression near active volcanic centers. Temperatures at depth of 300 to 800 m are 180 to 210°C. The natural discharge of the hydrothermal system includes the discharge of the Pauzhetka springs, a concealed discharge in the bed of the Pauzhetka River 995 kg/s), and steam discharge in the Kambalny Ridge (15 kg/s). Only the upper part of the geothermal reservoir was penetrated by drill holes (1200 m); there fore, we have used a mathematical model to assess the conditions of water and heat feeding the hydrothermal system.
