Abstract
The protection of groundwater resources has become a top priority for natural resource management around the world. In anticipation of the increased importance of protecting groundwater resources, the International Ground Water Modeling Center (IGWMC) was established in 1978 at the Holcomb Research Institute, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, to advance and improve the use of groundwater modeling by regulatory and management agencies in developing effective groundwater management procedures.
