Abstract
Soil infiltration is used as an outlet for the discharge of domestic treated wastewater. The sizing of these infiltration areas in a heterogeneous soil context is difficult, due in particular to the spatial measurement of saturated hydraulic conductivity, which is costly and time-consuming to implement. Nowaday, there is no adequate technique for evaluating the variability of satured hydraulic conductivity for a heterogeneous soil. The development of a methodology for the spatial characterization of soil properties is essential. We demonstrate here the benefit of using Bayesian Maximum Entropy data fusion to obtain a 2D representation of the infiltration capacity of heterogeneous soils. This tool opens up prospects for improving the sizing of infiltration areas, in context of heterogeneous soil.
