A relatively new methodology for building distributed-parameter models, based on control-theoretical methods of data analysis, is described and compared to the standard approach to reservoir modelling which relies solely on computer simulator. A specific application to the analysis of the Hutt Valley - Port Nicholson groundwater reservoir data is discussed. The analysis indicate the additional wells should be drilled in certain areas before an adequate forecasting model can be identified. It shows, however, that even with the data available, some of the reservoir parameters can be estimated with an acceptable accuracy. It is suggested that a similar methodology could be used in modelling geothermal reservoirs.
