Groome Endowed Professor Department of Civil Engineering Auburn University Title: Worthiness of complex groundwater models for decision making— How to balance complexity with simplicity? Abstract: Complex mathematical models are routinely used by groundwater hydrologists to predict contaminant concentration levels in polluted aquifers. These predictions are then used in risk-assessment and epidemiological studies, which are often
