Abstract | Knowledge about distribution of hydraulic conductivity and its variation in space is a prerequisite for understanding flow and fluid transport processes in sedimentary aquifers. Often, traditional site investigation techniques cannot cope with the task of high resolution aquifer characterization due to lack of resolution or high personnel expenditures. Direct Push sensor probes and tools are promising methods for high resolution site characterization. Among the large variety of available Direct Push probes, the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is a very versatile and most frequently applied technique. Well established and novel approaches to determine distribution of hydraulic conductivity based on CPT data were tested in this study. Results show that CPT was capable of reflecting the general aquifer structure. Furthermore, it is possible to describe the hydraulic structure of even complexly built aquifers on less than a meter scale by combining CPT measurements and supplementary in situ Direct Push data, although results are site specific and not generally applicable. |
