Abstract:

The geostatistical methods of kriging and co-kriging are compared as tools for the design of an optimal groundwater monitoring network. First, the network is optimized using single-variable kriging. Two aquifer properties are considered: the transmissivity (T) and the specific capacity (SC). The optimal network solutions resulting from considering each variable separately are then compared to the optimal solution yielded by the use of joint estimation through co-kriging.
