Description:
This report describes quality assurance and code testing in ground-water modeling. The quality assurance procedures presented cover both development and application of ground-water modeling codes. An important part of quality assurance is code testing and performance evaluation. The section on code testing and performance evaluation discusses past efforts to test ground-water simulation codes and document their performance and presents the three-level testing procedure developed by the International Ground Water Modeling Center and the Center's approach to developing benchmarks for the first two test levels.
