Abstract The natural heat discharge from a thermal area may take one of the following forms: heat flow through the soil, heat loss from water surfaces, fumaroles, overflow from geysers and springs, and underground seepage of hot water to nearby lakes or rivers. Details of the equipment and techniques developed at Wairakei, New Zealand, for estimating each type of heat discharge are given.
