RESPONSE TO COMMENTS OF KABALA,Z.J. AND SPOSITO,G. ON THE PAPER ON THE STOCHASTIC-THEORY OF SOLUTE TRANSPORT BY UNSTEADY AND STEADY GROUNDWATER-FLOW IN HETEROGENEOUS AQUIFERS BY KAVVAS,M.L. AND KARAKAS,A. - (JOURNAL OF HYDROLOGY, VOL. 179 (1996) 321-351)
Ml. Kavvas et A. Karakas, RESPONSE TO COMMENTS OF KABALA,Z.J. AND SPOSITO,G. ON THE PAPER ON THE STOCHASTIC-THEORY OF SOLUTE TRANSPORT BY UNSTEADY AND STEADY GROUNDWATER-FLOW IN HETEROGENEOUS AQUIFERS BY KAVVAS,M.L. AND KARAKAS,A. - (JOURNAL OF HYDROLOGY, VOL. 179 (1996) 321-351), Journal of hydrology, 207(1-2), 1998, pp. 139-143
It is shown that the comment of Kavvas and Karakas (J. Hydrol., 179: 3
21-351, 1996) concerning the inapplicability of Eqs. (A10) and (6) in
Kabala and Sposito (Water Resour. Res., 27: 341-350, 1991) to transpor
t by nonstationary flow is correct, and that Eqs. (A10), (6) and (7) o
f Kabala and Sposito (1991) are incorrect for the transport case treat
ed in that paper. The correct expressions for Eqs. (A10) and (6) in Ka
bala and Sposito (1991) are provided. It is also shown that the claims
of Kabala and Sposito (1998) concerning the theoretical developments
in Kavvas and Karakas (1996) have no basis. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
