Abstract

This chapter deals with the basic equation governing groundwater flow. In Sect. 2.1, the equations are presented in their full four-dimensional form (three spatial dimensions + time) with emphasis on the parameters. Section 2.2 introduces Calderón’s approach to determination of the spatially heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity field. To avoid negative hydraulic conductivities in the double constraint methodology (DCM), this approach is based on the square root of the hydraulic conductivity (sqrt-conductivity α). Section 2.3 introduces Stefanescu’s α-center method for parameter estimation, while Sect. 2.4 analyzes Calderón’s approach in more depth using inspiration from Stefanesco’s method. Although this chapter sets the scene for the real subject matter of this book—the double constraint methodology (DCM)—its reading may be skipped by readers who want to go directly to the DCM treated in Chap. 3.
