“…The calculated SiO 2 -Adiabatic temperature (196 °C) is considerably lower than the calculated Na-K temperatures (241 °C-254 °C) and the temperature calculated with iGeoT (230 ± 11 °C) is intermediate. The lower reservoir temperatures inferred from the SiO 2 geothermometer may be the result of polymerization and precipitation of silica, enhanced by the high salinity of the waters (e.g., Kley et al, 2017). The range of temperatures calculated is within the range of temperatures calculated by previous studies (e.g., Lahsen, 1976a, Lahsen, 1976bGiggenbach, 1978;Muñoz and Hamza, 1993;Cortecci et al, 2005;Tassi et al, 2005), and measured in the geothermal wells (Giggenbach, 1978;Lahsen and Trujillo, 1976).…”

El Tatio in northern Chile is one of the best-studied geothermal fields in South America. However, there remain open questions about the mass and energy budgets, water recharge rates and residence time in the subsurface, origin of dissolved solutes, and processes affecting the phase and chemical composition of groundwater and surface water. We measured and sampled surface manifestations of the geothermal system (geysers, perpetual spouters, mud pools/volcanoes, and non-eruptive hot springs) and meteoric water. From the isotopic composition we infer that the thermal water has a meteoric origin that is different from the composition of local meteoric water. The absence of detectable tritium in thermal waters indicates that most of the recharge occurred pre-1950. Boiling and steam separation from the deep reservoir appear to be the main subsurface processes affecting the thermal fluids. A large amount of heat is lost to the atmosphere by evaporation from surface water and by steam emitted from erupting geysers. Using the chloride inventory method, we estimate thermal water discharge to be 218 to 234 L/s, and the advective heat flow to be 120 to 170 MW.
