【 摘 要 】

Pollution of aquifers by liquid radioactive waste is especially hazardous due to high permeability of aquifer rocks. Pollution can take place as a result of deep injection disposal of liquid waste or due to its leakage from a surface reservoir. The ecological hazard depends on distribution of aquifer permeability, which can be highly heterogeneous. The only source of data for determination of such distribution is measurements in exploratory boreholes at the polluted site. A technique is proposed for determination of spatial distribution of aquifer transmissibility on the basis of hydrological measurements in a limited number of boreholes. The problem is reduced to a minimization problem which was solved numerically.
