Hydraulic conductivity field characterization from the joint inversion of hydraulic heads and self-potential data

Characterization of field saturated hydraulic conductivity

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract In the context of studies aiming at the estimation of effective parameters for unsaturated zone modelling, this work tackles the problem of experimental data quality, considering the large collection of data gathered at an experimental sit...

Least Squares Estimation of Hydraulic Conductivity from Field Data

In this paper, we present some numerical results of the determination of ow parameters in a groundwater model. The data used in this parameter estimation is from the MADE experiments conducted on Columbus Air Force Base. Our results are based on least squares cost functional with a nite diierence scheme used to solve the ow equation.

In-situ Field Hydraulic Conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is commonly estimated from grain size characteristics of unconsolidated sediments. We present an extensive set of air-permeability and grain size measurements from a heterogeneous aquifer. These data are unique in that the hydraulic conductivity measurements are made on undisturbed in-situ sediment and, like the grain size measurements, have a small sample volume size (<1...
