Banwell [...] a conçu une méthode bien argumentée pour estimer la capacité thermique d'un champ humide. Cette méthode est fondée sur l'hypothèse d'un aquifère perméable de superficie connue et dont le fond est imprégné d'eau partout au point d'ébullition, en fonction de la courbe température/pression [...].
