Influence of the Main Border Faults on the 3D Hydraulic Field of the Central Upper Rhine Graben

Figure 8

3D fluid flow illustrated exemplarily for model scenario B. Locations of the cross sections were chosen to run through active geothermal power plants and geothermal exploration areas (L: Landau; B: Bruchsal; SsF: Soultz-sous-Forêts; R: Rittershoffen; S: Strasbourg; vertical exaggeration ×2). A zoom into the central part of the middle cross section (between vertical dashed lines) is presented in Figures 9 and 10. Details of the northern and southern cross sections are presented in the Supplementary Material 1.
