Hydrogeological conceptual models are collections of hypotheses describing the
understanding of groundwater systems and they are considered one of the major sources of …

Effective groundwater management and allocation are essential from economic and social
points of view due to increasing high-quality water demands. This study presents a review …

The state of the groundwater inverse problem is synthesized. Emphasis is placed on aquifer
characterization, where modelers have to deal with conceptual model uncertainty (notably …

Although uncertainty about structures of environmental models (conceptual uncertainty) is
often acknowledged to be the main source of uncertainty in model predictions, it is rarely …

Some scientists argue, with reference to Popper's scientific philosophical school, that
models cannot be verified or validated. Other scientists and many practitioners nevertheless …

The geologically related uncertainty in groundwater modeling originates from two main
sources: geological structures and hydraulic parameter values within these structures …

Modern environmental management and decision‐making is based on the use of
increasingly complex numerical models. Such models have the advantage of allowing …

This paper presents a quantitative comparison of plausible climate and land use change
impacts on the hydrology of a large‐scale agricultural catchment. An integrated, distributed …

Uncertainties in model structures have been recognised often to be the main source of
uncertainty in predictive model simulations. Despite this knowledge, uncertainty studies are …

This study evaluates alternative groundwater models with different recharge and geologic
components at the northern Yucca Flat area of the Death Valley Regional Flow System …
