We are pleased to announce that the research work entitled "Estimation of 3-D hydraulic conductivity fields from fictive grain-size distributions derived from 3-D geological modeling" is now published in the Hydrogeology Journal.
This study presents a novel approach for estimating variations in hydraulic conductivity within heterogeneous detrital systems, considering modeled location-dependent variations in material properties derived from 3-D geological modeling. The research focuses on the clastic sediments of Munich´s subsurface, down to depths of 300 m below the Earth´s surface. The findings of the present paper prove to successfully estimate hydraulic conductivity while accounting for spatial heterogeneity, suggesting its potential for groundwater modeling, aquifer yield assessments and groundwater heat pump system design.
