Abstract

The present study focuses on the hydrodynamic characterization of the Lez karst aquifer (Southern France) on the basis of hydraulic field tests performed at different scales of space and under distinct hydrological conditions. Depending on the water level conditions, the organization of the flow paths linked to the geological structure of the reservoir changes and a compartmentalization of the system due the hierarchization of hydraulic connections to the main flow paths was assessed. For the same parameter characterized at borehole scale and at regional scale, a difference of 10–105 has been quantified. This quantification of hydrodynamic parameters provides important constraints on multiscale modeling and the characterization of main flow paths in such a karst system.
