Let the realizations be numbered 1,…, MC, and let Zij (R) be the
lithology of cell (i,j) in the Rth realization. The empirical relative frequency of lithology Sk at cell (i,j) is:
In the final image Z* the lithology at cell (i, j) will be the lithology which occurs most frequently in the MC realizations. So, if Sl is such that
Zij*= Sl.

Conclusions
1. The CMC model has shown successful results in delineating the complex geological configuration of the aquifer at the MADE1 site.
2. Piih = 0.922 produces the main heterogeneous features in the
site when conditioned on 16 boreholes.
3. Flow and transport simulations capture the salient features of the flow field and the large scale plume behaviour at the site, although some assumptions are made.
4. Reducing the number of Conditioned boreholes from 16, 9 to 6 still shows reasonably the same plume behaviour in terms of average longitudinal and vertical extensions specially in the far-field. This gives more reliability on the use of CMC model for predicting plume configuration at field sites.
