Abstract
This paper presents the theoretical investigation of the spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity in a stratum that is considered to be geologically homogeneous and proposes a methodology of numerically generating more realistic nonuniform homogeneous ground. It was shown that the hydraulic conductivity of the numerically generated ground was always lognormally distributed. Moreover, the power spectrum of a spatial variation of the hydraulic conductivity resulted in nearly 1/f type. The analysis of flow in the generated grounds show that even if the grounds are geologically homogeneous there exist locally predominant flow paths as commonly observed in natural groundwater flow.
