Abstract
Successful modeling of flow and transport in geologic
formations requires detailed characterization of their hydraulic
properties. In practice, these properties are at best measured
at selected locations where their values are often corrupted by
experimental and interpretive errors. Such data are further used
in model parameterization and subsequent numerical
simulations. We investigate the propagation of measurement
errors through all stages of our modeling process: (1) data
collection mimicked by numerical simulations of transient
pumping tests; (2) transient semilog data analysis; (3)
geostatistical generation of permeability distributions with
nugget; and, finally, (4) flow simulations. We demonstrate how
even small experimental and interpretive errors can manifest
themselves in inaccurate predictions of the system
states.
