Interpolation methods for spatial distribution of groundwater mapping electrical conductivity.

ABSTRACT: This study was carried out to develop a conceptual framework for determining the best interpolation method which mainly is employed to calculate the variability maps of electrical conductivity (EC) in neighboring regions. The considered case study is parts of the Khorasan Razavi province, Iran (including five aquifers Kashmar, Fariman, Doruneh, Sarakhs and Joveyn). In the first step, the empirical variogram (semi-variogram) was computed for the study area. The methods of the variability of a variable with spatial or temporal distance were considered to measure the semi-variogram function. In the next step, the best variogram model (e.g. spherical, exponential or Gaussian) was considered in the Geographic Information System (GIS) environment and f for the Environmental Sciences (GS+) softwa
