Deep Aquifers Technology

These deep aquifers can be viewed as networks of permeable geological formations as well as fracture-based conduits (so-called fracture-enhanced secondary permeability). These formations and conduits are hypothesized to be integrated and make up vast  watersheds or drainage basins that collect and carry groundwater from high elevations over long distances through these networks.  Additionally, these networks may be augmented by inflow from hydrothermal sources from magmatic bodies. Water may be travelling through these networks for centuries.
