Ground‐water modeling is a tool that can help analyze many ground‐water problems. Models are useful for reconnaissance studies preceding field investigations, for interpretive studies following the field program, and for predictive studies to estimate future field behavior. In addition to these applications, models are useful for studying various types of flow behavior by examining hypothetical aquifer problems. Before attempting such studies, however, one must be familiar with ground‐water modeling concepts, model usage, and modeling limitations.
