A final consideration is how parameters from geometrical models might be incorporated into models to better predict solute dispersion at the macroscopic scale. One approach involves the development of effective continuum models for structured soils and fractured rocks (de Josselin de Jong Way, 1972 Long et al., 1982 Berkowitz et al., 1988). Another approach is the inclusion of dispersion due to porosity variations in Monte Carlo simulations of solute transport in random conductivity fields (Fiori, 1998 Hassan et al., 1998). It is also possible to embed geometrical models within multiregion velocity based models (Gwo et al., 1998).
