Calibration And Reliability In Groundwater Modelling
Understanding the reliability of groundwater models is crucial for effective water resource management. Calibration, a key process in model development, involves adjusting model parameters to match observed data. This ensures the model accurately represents the real-world hydrogeological system, leading to more reliable predictions for future groundwater availability and the impacts of various management scenarios. Assessing model reliability through sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification provides critical insights into the confidence level of simulation results and informs decision-making regarding groundwater resources.
