TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a critical appraisal of results related to the problem of finding representative hydraulic conductivities, i.e., a parameter controlling the average behavior of groundwater flow within an aquifer at a given scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a procedure to solve groundwater reactive transport in the case of homogeneous and classical heterogeneous equilibrium reactions induced by mixing different waters, which can be used to test numerical codes by setting benchmark problems but also to derive closed-form analytical solutions whenever steps 2 and 3 are simple.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered flow in a confined aquifer of uniform thickness due to a well of zero radius that fully penetrates the aquifer and discharges at a constant rate.

TL;DR: Inverse modeling is a key step in groundwater-related hydrological studies as mentioned in this paper, but hardly any comparison between them was presented. But in this paper, we compare seven modern inverse methods for groundwater flow: the Regularised Pilot Points Method (both the estimation, RPPM-CE, and the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation variants,RPPM-CS), the MC variant of the Representer Method (RM), the Sequential Self-Calibration Method (SSC), the Moment Equations Method (MEM), the Zonation Method (ZM),

TL;DR: A methodology for convergence analysis of Monte Carlo simulations and therefore for the reliability assessment of the inferred statistical moments is proposed, based on simple rules of statistical inference, which can be extended to different application fields.
