Abstract
Evidence obtained from the discharge chemistry of wells in the western Wairakei borefield during the period 1964 to 1969 indicate that they draw their supply of hot fluid from the east in the region of the Uaiora fault and not from the Te Mihi area to the west as previously supposed. the Waiora fault towards wells to the west of the Waiora fault results in a pressure loss of 3-4 bars at those wells compared to wells that are located on the Waiora fault itself
