•
SmartGeo is a 2-D tool for the characterization of heterogeneous hydraulic
parameter fields for groundwater applications.
•
Initially born as an inverse modelling tool for hydraulic tomography tests, SmartGeo
capabilities have been extended to analyze any type of dataset coming from
aquifers monitoring campaigns.
•
SmartGeo interprets all types of head measurements available for a particular site
(i.e. from single or multiple wells pumping tests or long-term piezometers
monitoring) and, if available, other direct hydraulic conductivity measurements.
•
Performing a stochastic inversion of all the available data, SmartGeo provides many
possible heterogeneous maps of hydraulic parameters that comply with the
collected measurements.

interpretation of multiple pumping tests data
•
Measurements collected during separate monitoring campaigns performed with
different aquifer conditions can be considered at the same time and interpreted
contemporarily.

•
SmartGeo can also be used to generate stochastic heterogeneous fields for
performing flow simulations in a Monte Carlo framework. This is done by coupling
the HYDRO_GEN stochastic generator
(http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bellin/frames/hydrogen.php) with the MODFLOW 2005
model.
•
SmartGeo is particularly useful for interpreting multiple pumping tests in cases
where the homogeneous hypothesis for the aquifer parameters is not able to
provide satisfying results.
•
SmartGeo is efficient for interpreting many data for defining the heterogeneous
pattern of the hydraulic parameters, since it implements the particle swarm
optimization algorithm, a semi-euristic inverse model, which is particularly stable
and efficient for solving non-unique inverse problems, characterized by many
unknowns.
•
SmartGeo does not require prior information about the hydraulic parameter
fields for running.
•
The results can be easily checked with the post-processing tools; the efficiency of
SmartGeo in interpreting the head measurements can be viewed along with other
convergence parameters of the optimization process.
