This paper deals with the inverse problems of wells' location and transmissivity estimation in a saturated porous media. Wells are considered as circular holes and the heterogeneous domain is divided into zones with constant transmissivity in each one. The main used tool for wells' location is the topological gradient method applied to a design function defined with respect to available data. Moreover, this technique is incorporated in an adaptive parameterization algorithm leading, in a progressive way, to recover interfaces between hydrogeological zones and transmissivity values. The obtained algorithm allows to recover jointly the transmissivities and the wells' locations. Then the proposed method is tested on a simplified model inspired from the Rocky Mountain aquifer.
