Kupu of the Week - 16 Māpuna (Reservoir)
The reservoir is the portion of a geothermal field below ground that is so hot and permeable that fluid can be economically extracted for the production of fluid and heat. This contains: (1) an aquifer or fracture network containing hot fluid, (2) a path through which cold water can flow to recharge the system or an input of magmatic fluid and (3) a source of heat.
He wāhanga hana rawa, pōareare rawa te māpuna no te apa hanawhatu e āhei ā-utu nei te tango ake hei wē, hei hana. Kei roto rā, ka tahi ko te mātāwai rānei, ko te whatunga rānei e mau ana te wē hana; ka rua ko te ara e rere iho ai te wai mātao rānei, te rewanga nukutoto rānei hei whakakīkī atu; ka toru ko te pūnga o te hana.
