Improved high-resolution characterization of hydraulic conductivity through inverse modeling of HPT profiles and steady-state hydraulic tomography: Field and synthetic studies

•Inverse modeling approach proposed to invert cm-scale K from HPT surveys.•Based on inverted K, a new power-law model was developed for HPT surveys at NCRS.•The site-specific model predicted K values that correspond well with permeameter K.•Integrating HPT-inverted K into SSHT better defined sharp b...
