[en] A complete methodology for groundwater flow and solute transport modeling is described step by step. Definitions, terminology, and a general methodology are proposed. Emphasis is given to the conceptual model choices involving processes to be simulated, parsimony versus complexity, and dimensionality. Model design and data input are addressed with a description of the different input data. Calibration, validation, sensitivity analysis, and inverse modeling are summarized.
