Description:
Mathematical models can be helpful tools to managers of ground-water protection programs. They may be used for testing hypotheses about conceptualizations and to gather a fuller understanding of important physical, chemical and biological processes which affect ground-water resources. The possible outcomes of complex problems can be addressed in great detail, if adequate data are available. The success of these efforts depends on the accuracy and efficiency with which the natural processes controlling the behavior of ground water, and the chemical and biological species it transports, are simulated.
