Abstract
Groundwater modeling has become a very useful and established tool for studying problems of groundwater quality and management. Modeling techniques have been used as an aid for: (a) prediction of the effect of groundwater stresses (groundwater recharge and discharge are treated as stresses), (b) groundwater management for sustainable exploitation of groundwater, and (c) to estimate effect of contaminant injection and transport in space and time.
