Aquifer heterogeneity controls to quality monitoring network performance for the protection of groundwater production wells

A Short‐Term Pumping Strategy for Hydraulic Tomography Based on the Successive Linear Estimator

“…Hydraulic conductivity ( K ) and specific storage ( S s ) are two critical parameters that control the groundwater flow and solute transport in aquifers (Yeh, Khaleel, et al., 2015). Accurate knowledge of the spatial distributions of K and S s is essential to groundwater investigation, water supply management, remediation of contaminated aquifers, and geothermal exploration and management (Mao et al., 2013; Moreno & Paster, 2018; Sarris et al., 2022; Winterleitner et al., 2018). A laboratory column test of soil samples is a standard method to obtain the core‐scale hydraulic parameters (Ilek & Kucza, 2014; Tokunaga & Kameya, 2003).…”
