Three‐dimensional geological maps that include the hydrostratigraphical heterogeneity and depositional architecture of the natural formation are needed in hydrogeology to understand flow and transport. This paper presents a practical procedure for the generation of such maps. The method includes multiple indicator kriging, where the estimation of the structural architecture is conditioned on ground penetrating radar data. Physical core samples are used as tie points. This study utilizes data obtained from the unsaturated zone of a highly heterogeneous, glaciofluvial delta formation in Norway.
