Heterogeneity and non-stationary variance in hard rock hydrogeology
Extreme variability and its role in hydrogeology
Land and Water Resources EngineeringRobert Earon
• Changing Climate• Limited Storage• Increasing residency near coast• Heteroscedasticity
There is no annual shortage of water in Sweden.Problems arise due to temporal distribution of meteoric water and water storage.

Review
• Heterogeneity places a high burden on point estimates for regional or even local characterization
• Heterogenic, anisotropic variability implies caution should be taken when applying statistical tools
• From the standpoint of limited-resource hydrogeological investigation, plausibility of applying and developing other tools
