A – distribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> assigned permeabilities; B –distribution <strong>of</strong> temperature; C – Darcy fluxes and vectors; D – distribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tracer. A, B, and D show fluid flow lines. Note <strong>the</strong> elevated heat transport along <strong>the</strong>Paralana Fault zone (B) and different tracer results (D) compared to <strong>the</strong> reference model (Figure 7.4). The model does not represent <strong>the</strong> present-day hydrogeologicalregime in areas proximal to <strong>the</strong> Four Mile and Beverley deposits.Page 91 <strong>of</strong> 151
