Objective:
Identify, test, and verify various model abstraction techniques for characterizing and simulating water flow and contaminant transport in soils.

Approach:
Identify and review appropriate model abstraction techniques for hierarchical application of flow and transport processes to specific soils and environmental conditions; select and recommend a set of model abstraction techniques useful for simulating flow and transport; develop a test plan for evaluating the selected model abstraction techniques; test and confirm the appropriateness of the model abstraction approach through comparisons with conventional complex flow and transport models; and document the model abstraction methodology and its application.
