The system exploitation occurs in the alluvial cover and, more recently, to a
large extent in the bedrock. The maximum density of the well spacing is 10-15 wells
per hectare and the total average production in the two principal areas of
exploitation is about 0.7-0.8 m

, with pumping varying throughout the year and
reaching a maximum in the thermal health season. An artificial piezometric regime
in the thermal field is produced by high pumping rates during the health season (see
Figure 5.16): rapid drops and a leveling off of the subsequent recovery were
registered. This was obtained during the two or three peak months of exploitation.
