abstract = {Interactions between surface water and groundwater play an
essential role in hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, and
water resources management. A proper characterisation of
riverbed structures might be important for estimating
river–aquifer exchange fluxes. The ensemble Kalman filter
(EnKF) is commonly used in subsurface flow and transport
modelling for estimating states and parameters. However,
EnKF only performs optimally for MultiGaussian distributed
parameter fields, but the spatial distribution of streambed
hydraulic conductivities often shows non-MultiGaussian
patterns, which are related to flow velocity dependent
sedimentation and erosion processes. In this synthetic
study, we assumed a riverbed with non-MultiGaussian
channel-distributed hydraulic parameters as a virtual
reference. The synthetic study was carried out for a 3-D
river–aquifer model with a river in hydraulic connection
to a homogeneous aquifer. Next, in a series of data
assimilation experiments three different groups of scenarios
were studied. In the first and second group of scenarios,
stochastic realisations of non-MultiGaussian distributed
riverbeds were inversely conditioned to state information,
using EnKF and the normal score ensemble Kalman filter
(NS-EnKF). The riverbed hydraulic conductivity was oriented
in the form of channels (first group of scenarios) or, with
the same bimodal histogram, without channelling (second
group of scenarios). In the third group of scenarios, the
stochastic realisations of riverbeds have MultiGaussian
distributed hydraulic parameters and are conditioned to
state information with EnKF. It was found that the best
results were achieved for channel-distributed
non-MultiGaussian stochastic realisations and with parameter
updating. However, differences between the simulations were
small and non-MultiGaussian riverbed properties seem to be
of less importance for subsurface flow than
non-MultiGaussian aquifer properties. In addition, it was
concluded that both EnKF and NS-EnKF improve the
characterisation of non-MultiGaussian riverbed properties,
hydraulic heads and exchange fluxes by piezometric head
assimilation, and only NS-EnKF could preserve the initial
distribution of riverbed hydraulic conductivities.},
