Abstract
In geostatistics, variables are often classified as “stationary” or “non stationary”. The latter refers to variables which show a definite trend in space, such as the direction of the hydraulic gradient, for hydraulic heads in an aquifer. In (10), the method of simple kriging for stationary hydrologic variables is presented. In this chapter, universal kriging and the use of generalized covariances of order k are summarized, for the estimation of non stationary hydrologic variables, with one example of application.
