Three-dimensional imaging of aquifer and aquitard heterogeneity via transient hydraulic tomography at a highly heterogeneous field site

•Long-term drawdowns are used for transient hydraulic tomography (THT) analyses.•Geostatistical approach (GA) yields the best calibration and validation performances.•Drawdowns from aquitards improve hydraulic conductivity estimates for the GA.•Reliable geological data are useful for THT analyses at...
