Hydrological services technical strengths at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) include:

  • Assessment and management of groundwater resources

  • Dynamics of karst aquifers

  • Groundwater flow and mass transport modeling

  • Geostatistical evaluation of aquifer and reservoir heterogeneity

  • Fate and transport of environmental pollutants

  • Colloid facilitated transport of contaminants

  • Quantitative feasibility analyses of soil and groundwater remedial technologies

  • Mathematical modeling of subsurface flow and transport processes

  • Upscaling of aquifer and reservoir petrophysical and thermophysical properties

  • Numerical simulation of unsaturated flow in fractured and nonfractured rocks

  • Aquifer parameter estimation through hydraulic testing and inverse modeling

  • Assessment of instrument spatial weighting functions and averaging volumes
