New Guide for Application of a Ground-Water Flow Model to a Site-Specific Problem
1. Scope
This guide covers the application and subsequent docu-
mentation of a ground-water flow model to a particular site or
problem. In this context, “ground-water flow model” refers to
the application of a mathematical model to the solution of a
site-specific ground-water flow problem.
1.2 This guide illustrates the major steps to take in devel-
oping a ground-water flow model that reproduces or simulates
an aquifer system that has been studied in the field. This guide
does not identify particular computer codes, software, or
algorithms used in the modeling investigation.
Keywords
computer model; ground-water; simulation
Rationale
This guide is one of a series of standards on ground-
water model applications. Other standards have been prepared
on environmental modeling, such as Practice E 978.
