Can anybody let me know which interpolation technique (Kriging, Akima or Inverse Distance Weighting) is better to interpolate following data in GW Flow Modeling using FeFlow:

1. Depth of Aquifer
2. Hydraulic Elevations or Water Table

Dear Perl,

Personally I believe there is not an exact rule for deciding about interpolation techniques. The selection depends on many variables such as data type, data transformation, distribution of your points, geometry of domain, etc. These last two are the most critical. I think the best way is a trial-and-error approach here. You can make double-check plotting both interpolated fields and measurements at the same view.

Regards,

Carlos
