hydrological modeling is commonly crossed by the solution of inverse problems and the estimation for non-linear parameters techniques. Despite this common scenario, the use of these guidelines is limited to the proper sampling of in-field data. This sampling involves a variety of data that generally have little availability, especially in regions where geographical and climatic variability does not allow a constant measurement. In this article, we present the analysis of a regional underground flow model using two techniques: pilot points (PP) and constant zones (CZ). This methodologies allow identifying properly if there are any biased parameters and heterogeneity of hydraulic properties. For this purpose, we developed a numerical variable density model that is limited with reinterpreted data from real measurements. For the CZ technique, the initial parameters are assigned according to its layer, and every layer is considered constant for parameter values; in contrast for PP technique, the initial parameters are assigned according to interpolations using in-situ point measurements. The developed model was applied in an area under the influence of the ITCZ, located in the middle valley of Magdalena (MMV). This area is important on the development of the country due to its contribution to GDP and has been subject to significant changes in land use, as a result of intense economic activities, for example, agriculture, hydroelectric power, and production of oil and gas. The established model shows a scarce link with the observed state variable (hydraulic head -K), this proves the importance of spatial heterogeneity in K. The model is calibrated in order to establish K (as an anisotropic variable that varies spatially), the porosity (η) and the specific storage capacity (Ss) in the PP and CZ, reducing a “mean square” error of state variable dependable on the observation points. The results show that the PP system approach provides a better heterogeneity representation and shows that each parameter is sensitive, and does not depend on other parameters, giving to the parameter evaluation results factual independence and authenticity. This research compiles a methodology to assertively restrict a highly parameterized inverse model with field data to estimate aquifer parameters that vary spatially at a regional scale
La modelación hidrogeológica es comúnmente realizada por la solución de problemas inversos y la estimación de técnicas de parámetros no lineales. A pesar de este escenario común, el uso de estas directrices se limita al muestreo adecuado de los datos de campo. Este muestreo implica una variedad de datos que generalmente tienen poca disponibilidad, especialmente en regiones donde la variabilidad geográfica y climática no permite una medición constante. En este artículo, presentamos el análisis de un modelo de flujo subterráneo regional utilizando dos técnicas: puntos piloto (PP) y zonas constantes (CZ). Estas metodologías permiten identificar correctamente si hay parámetros sesgados y heterogeneidad de las propiedades hidráulicas. Para este propósito, desarrollamos un modelo numérico de densidad variable que está limitado con datos reinterpretados de mediciones reales. Para la técnica CZ, los parámetros iniciales se asignan de acuerdo con su capa, y cada capa se considera constante para los valores de los parámetros; en contraste con la técnica de PP, los parámetros iniciales se asignan de acuerdo con las interpolaciones utilizando mediciones de puntos in situ. El modelo desarrollado se aplicó en un área bajo la influencia de la ZCIT, ubicada en el valle medio de Magdalena (MMV). Esta área es importante para el desarrollo del país debido a su contribución al PIB y ha estado sujeta a cambios significativos en el uso de la tierra, como resultado de intensas actividades económicas, por ejemplo, la agricultura, la energía hidroeléctrica y la producción de petróleo y gas. El modelo establecido muestra un vínculo escaso con la variable de estado observada (cabeza hidráulica -K), esto demuestra la importancia de la heterogeneidad espacial en K. El modelo se calibra para establecer K (como una variable anisotrópica que varía espacialmente), la porosidad (η) y la capacidad de almacenamiento específica (Ss) en el PP y CZ, reduciendo un error de "cuadrado medio" de la variable de estado dependiente de los puntos de observación. Los resultados muestran que el enfoque del sistema PP proporciona una mejor representación de heterogeneidad y muestra que cada parámetro es sensible y no depende de otros parámetros, lo que da a los resultados de la evaluación de los parámetros independencia de los hechos y autenticidad. Esta investigación compila una metodología para restringir asertivamente un modelo inverso altamente parametrizado con datos de campo para estimar parámetros de acuíferos que varían espacialmente a escala regional.
