In this paper, we present a method that may lead to a better quantitative insight into the relation between the size (horizontal dimensions) of a natural groundwater flow modelling area and the schematization required for a numerical model. The method is based on a decomposition of the spatial variability of the groundwater table into a Fourier series. Each sinusoidal Fourier mode has a specific...
