Presents a set of methods and guidelines for calibrating and analyzing mathematical groundwater models
Focuses on practical application of the methods, organized into four categories: (1) model development guidelines, (2) model testing guidelines, (3) potential new data guidelines, and (4) prediction uncertainty guidelines
Helps readers address societal issues related to natural and engineered systems that are conducive to quantitative modeling, and to use the models and available data more effectively
Describes methods and guidelines that are generally applicable to models of any environmental system
Covers topics that “are of critical importance to application of numerical models to solving scientific and engineering problems” according to one review
Contains practical exercises on illustrative groundwater flow system and management problems that professionals and students can apply all the methods in the book
Ties the exercises into two of the widely-used software applications of MODFLOW and UCODE
