Improved characterization of heterogeneous permeability in saline aquifers from transient pressure data during freshwater injection

Managing recharge of freshwater into saline aquifers requires accurate estimation of the heterogeneous permeability field for maximizing injection and recovery efficiency. Here we present a methodology for subsurface characterization in saline aquifers that takes advantage of the density difference...
