Cost-Effective and High-Resolution Subsurface Characterization Using Hydraulic Tomography

Abstract

The overall objective of this project is to provide the DoD and its remediation contractors with the Hydraulic Tomography(HT) technology for delineating the spatial distribution of the K and Ss parameters in high resolution. Specific technical objectives are to: 1) demonstrate that HT is superior to conventional methods for estimating the spatial distribution of hydrogeologic properties; 2) illustrate that an HT survey can be readily conducted at DoD sites using existing networks of groundwater extraction/injection and observation wells; and 3) develop guidance for HT field implementation and compare costs associated with HT and conventional methods.
