[Geysers] Project about geysers

[Udo Freund]

Dear Max,

Yes, Strokkur is a fountain geyser.  Geysers and geothermal energy 
plants do not coexist very well.  There is documented evidence that 
geysers in Beowawe and Steamboat Springs Nevada USA stopped all activity 
once nearby geothermal electric power plants began production.  New 
Zealand and Iceland have seen similar effects also.  Web searches on 
these subjects may provide some data.

Perhaps some people on a geyser list can elaborate further.  This 
message is also being sent to them.

Best wishes for the success of your project.
