Is subsurface geophysics as seismic and acoustic investigations a rescue to groundwater flow inversion? by Delay, Frederick, Mari, Jean-Luc, Porel, Gilles, Chabaux, François, Ackerer, Philippe

“…The velocity block is then converted into pseudo-porosity values revealing three high-porosity, presumably water-productive, layers, at depths of 35–40, 85–87, and 110–115 m.In addition, full wave acoustic logging (FWAL) can detect, close to wells, porous or open bodies that are too small for being captured by the spatial resolution of 3-D seismic images. A FWAL can also confirm or invalidate data from VSP recorded via hydrophones.The block of pseudo-porosities is compared to a different representation of the subsurface in the form of hydraulic conductivity distributions (or hydraulic diffusion) obtained by slug tests or by inversion of transient interference testing between wells. …”
