This book describes a novel physics-based approach to inverse
modeling that makes use of the properties of the equations
governing the physics of the processes under consideration. It
focuses on the inverse problems occurring in hydrogeology, but
the approach is also applicable to similar inverse problems in
various other fields, such as petroleum-reservoir engineering,
geophysical and medical imaging, weather forecasting, and flood
prediction. This approach takes into consideration the physics –
for instance, the boundary conditions required to obtain a
well-posed mathematical problem – to help avoid errors in model
building and therefore enhance the reliability of the results. In
addition, this method requires less computation time and less
computer memory.

mathematical, way, with three practice-oriented hydrogeological
case studies and a comparison with the conventional approach
illustrating the power of the method.

Forward and Inverse Modeling of Groundwater Flow is of use to
researchers and graduate students in the fields of hydrology, as
well as to professional hydrologists within industry. It also
appeals to geophysicists and those working in or studying
petroleum reservoir modeling and basin modeling.
