- •
A reactive transport model of the Dixie Valley geothermal area is presented.
- •
Chemical compositions observed in geothermal springs are accurately reproduced.
- •
Assessment of classical and multicomponent geothermometry.
- •
Classical geothermometers perform best if only conductive cooling is occurring.
- •
Multicomponent geothermometry works well at v > 0.1 m/d and at low fracture reactivity.
