ABSTRACT
A hydrogeophysical model is presented for the South Havana Basin, Cuba,
based on the processing of geophysical well logs, together with transmissivity
data obtained from aquifer tests. The model provides clarification of the
existing relationship between geophysical well log parameters and flow
velocity, and demonstrates that longitudinal conductance is the best predictor
of aquifer transmissivity.
