Hydraulic Tomography and High-Resolution Slug Testing to Determine Hydraulic Conductivity Distributions

摘要

Since spatial changes in hydraulic conductivity are a major factor governing the transport and fate of a pollutant as it moves through an aquifer, we focus on the development of new innovative methods to delineate these spatial changes. The objective of the research proposed here is to build on our previous work to develop and improve field techniques for better definition of the three-dimensional spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity by using hydraulic tomography coupled with high-resolution slug testing.
