abstract = {One-dimensional transport models that predict field-scale
averaged solute fluxes are often used to estimate the risk
of nonpoint source groundwater contamination by widespread
surface-applied chemicals. However, within-field variability
of soil hydraulic properties leads to lateral variation in
local solute fluxes. When this smaller scale variability is
characterized in a geostatistical sense, stochastic
three-dimensional flow and transport equations can be used
to predict field-scale averaged transport in terms of
geostatistical parameters. We discuss the use of stochastic
equations for the parameterization of equivalent
one-dimensional models predicting averaged solute fluxes.
First, we consider the equivalent one-dimensional convection
dispersion model and the equivalent dispersivity, which
characterizes the spreading of laterally averaged
concentrations or solute fluxes. Second, we discuss the
parameterization of a stream tube model to predict local
transport variables (i.e., distributions of local
concentrations and local arrival times) These local
transport variables are shown to be important for predicting
nonlinear local transport processes and useful for inversely
inferring the spatial structure of soil properties.
Stochastic flow and transport equations reveal a dependency
of equivalent model parameters on transport distance and
flow rate, which reflects the importance of smaller scale
heterogeneities on field-scale transport. Approximate
solutions of stochastic flow and transport equations are
obtained for steady-state and uniform flow. The effect of
transient flow conditions on transport is discussed.
Throughout the paper we refer to experimental and numerical
data that confirm or contradict results from stochastic flow
and transport equations.},
