This book presents an overview of techniques that are available to
characterize sedimentary aquifers. Groundwater flow and solute
transport are strongly affected by aquifer heterogeneity. Improved
aquifer characterization can allow for a better conceptual
understanding of aquifer systems, which can lead to more accurate
groundwater models and successful water management solutions, such
as contaminant remediation and managed aquifer recharge systems.
This book has an applied perspective in that it considers the
practicality of techniques for actual groundwater management and
development projects in terms of costs, technical resources and
expertise required, and investigation time. A discussion of the
geological causes, types, and scales of aquifer heterogeneity is
first provided. Aquifer characterization methods are then
discussed, followed by chapters on data upscaling, groundwater
modelling, and geostatistics. This book is a must for every
practitioner, graduate student, or researcher dealing with aquifer
characterization .
