HydroImage, user-friendly software that utilizes high-resolution geophysical data for estimating hydrogeological parameters in subsurface strata, was developed under this grant. HydroImage runs on the personal computer platform to promote broad use by hydrogeologists to further understanding of subsurface processes that govern contaminant fate, transport, and remediation. The unique software provides estimates of hydrogeological properties over continuous volumes of the subsurface, whereas previous approaches only allow estimation of point locations. Thus, this unique tool can be used to significantly enhance site conceptual models and improve design and operation of remediation systems.
