Abstract
A distributed parameter model of the geothermal reservoir is used to production and recharge at Wairakei. The is idealized because radial symmetry and a coarse discretization is used. However, the model does a reasonable steady representation of the undisturbed reservoir, a good match to the observed behaviour and a prediction of the future.
