Abstract
The inadequacy of the traditional approach of modelling transport in large porous formations by using a deterministic differential equation with a constant dispersivity is discussed. The apparent variation of dispersivity with distance in field tests and the uncertainty of prediction are emphasized. A stochastic model of transport governed by the large-scale heterogeneity of hydraulic conductivity is outlined. -from Author
