Résumé

When the data are few, kriging hydraulic head or concentration with usual variogram models can lead to physically inconsistent results, because the non-stationarity induced by the flow or transport equations is not taken into account properly. Several methods have been proposed to account for these equations in the geostatistical estimation. A recent and general approach consists in incorporating them through specific covariance models. A set of random fields sampling uncertain parameters (e.g. conductivity) is first used as input of a flow simulator. Empirical “numerical” spatial covariances are then calculated between pairs of points and for the variable of interest (e.g. hydraulic head, concentration) on the corresponding set of flow simulator outputs. These non-stationary “numerical” covariances are consistent with the specific spatial variability of hydraulic head or concentrations. They are used in the estimation. In this paper, flow-and-transport simulations are thus combined with kriging to estimate contaminant concentrations in groundwater. A non-stationary Gaussian anamorphosis in introduced for non-linear estimation so that the estimate of the concentration is positive. The method is first validated on synthetic data and then on real data from a twodimensional cross-section of an aquifer downstream of a trench containing radioactive waste in the Chernobyl area. Kriging with the output of a simplified flow model as external drift and kriging with numerical covariances reproduce the spatial variability of the contaminant plume much better than usual (ordinary) kriging based on observations only. The comparison between the two best estimators is discussed
