. This paper presents a computer program for generating two‐dimensional fields of autocorrelated parameters. The program is written for parameters which are log‐normally distributed such as hydraulic conductivity of aquifers. A specific form for the autocorrelation structure is included. Generating a parameter field represents an important step in the stochastic analysis of ground‐water flow and mass transport via the Monte‐Carlo technique. The program is written in FORTRAN for both the IBM PC and the VAX 11/780 and runs interactively to allow easy use. The program listing as run on the IBM PC is included.
