Abstract

This chapter explains the requirement for conceptual models to support decision making for addressing groundwater in design and construction. It defines conceptual models and approaches to their formulation, presentation, communication and reporting. The chapter provides useful sign posting to a range of data sources that are available to practitioners. The second half of the chapter presents a broad range of example conceptual models that represent different climatic and environmental scenarios.
