Title: | Characterizing the spatial variability of groundwater quality using the entropy theory: II. Case study from Gaza Strip | Authors: | Mogheir, Y. Lima, J. L. M. P. de Singh, V. P. |
Issue Date: | 2004 | Citation: | Hydrological Processes. 18:13 (2004) 2579-2590 | Abstract: | This paper, the second in the series, uses the entropy theory to describe the spatial variability of groundwater quality data sets. The application of the entropy theory is illustrated using the chloride observations obtained from a network of groundwater quality monitoring wells in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. The application involves calculating information measures, such as transinformation, the information transfer index and the correlation coefficient. These measures are calculated using a discrete approach, in which contingency tables are used. An exponential decay fitting approach was applied to the discrete models. The analysis shows that transinformation, as a function of distance, can be represented by the exponential decay curve. It also indicates that, for the data used in this study, the transinformation model is superior to the correlation model for characterizing the spatial variability.
