Drawing at the bottom of the page.
The typical well here seems to be about 1.5 miles down. This is far below any groundwater sources. Steam (geothermal fluids) is pumped up and later pumped back down a second well (re-injection well) for it to be reheated and subsequently used again and again.
There is nothing happening to the groundwater nor is geothermal energy killing Ohia trees.
