USGS studies have indicated that the deep geothermal fluid is hundreds of years old -- one paper cited a possible 1,100 years. The paper in question here (and I have not been able to get the article itself) is, I think really discussing the influence of near-surface (meteoric) water admixing with the geothermal. To some extent I think this is sort of a "Duh" sort of thing... but like I say, I haven't seen the article.

I find this very interesting because I remember the ranger saying on ageyser walk in 2000 that OF's water supply is about 500 years old.  Not so?Now I wonder how that info came about.Lucille Reilly-----Original Message-----From: geysers-bounces at lists.wallawalla.edu[mailto:geysers-bounces at lists.wallawalla.edu] On Behalf OfLee_Whittlesey at nps.govSent: Friday, May 30, 2008 10:22 AMTo: geysers at lists.wallawalla.eduSubject: [Geysers] Fw: (USGS/NPS News Release) What Makes an OldGeyserFaithful?----- Forwarded by Lee Whittlesey/YELL/NPS on 05/30/2008 10:21 AM -----                       YELL Public                      Affairs                  To:                      Sent by: Al Nash         cc:       (bcc: LeeWhittlesey/YELL/NPS)                                                                                       Subject:  (USGS/NPS NewsRelease) What Makes an Old Geyser Faithful?                                   05/30/2008 09:26                      AM MDT For Immediate Release - May 30, 2008WHAT MAKES AN OLD GEYSER FAITHFUL?New research suggests that how often Old Faithful and other Yellowstonegeysers erupt may depend on annual rainfall patterns.____________________________________________________________Need cash?
