A basin-scale aquifer characterization using an inverse analysis based on groundwater level fluctuation in response to precipitation: Practical application to a watershed in Jeju Island, South Korea
Abstract
It has been found that the hydraulic characteristics of the actual aquifer can be characterized over the entire small watershed based on the time-series data of the groundwater fluctuation due to precipitation. The hydraulic properties estimated in this area correspond well to the geological features of the area that were not incorporated in the inverse analysis. Watershed-scale aquifer characterization is the most critical step in managing groundwater under the concept of watershed management. Due to the reliability of the analyses, the estimates of aquifer hydraulic properties through this study can be used for a variety of practical purposes, including establishing water resource management plans such as quantitative water resource management and prevention of groundwater pollution.
