Deconvolution well test analysis applied to a long-term data set of the Waiwera geothermal reservoir (New Zealand)

<p>The geothermal reservoir at Waiwera has been subject to active exploitation for a long time. It is located below the village on the Northern Island of New Zealand and has been used commercially since 1863. The continuous production of geothermal water, to supply hotels and spas, had a negat...
