Aquifer Characterization Techniques Schlumberger Methods in Water Re
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

Preface
This book is an outgrowth of an investigation of the state of the art in aquifer characterization techniques. The focus is on what is possible and practical from an applied perspective. The word ‘practical’ is stressed in that the aquifer characterization and modeling approaches selected for a given project must be accommodated by project budgets and time frames. Leading-edge technologies developed in academia and government research laboratories are often not viable for applied projects, such as the assessment of a contaminated site, design of a managed aquifer recharge system, or impact assessment of proposed wellfield, because of their time requirements, costs, or the local unavailability of re
