Assessment of groundwater models was the focus of the Pacific Northwest/Oceania conference held on March 21-23, 1994, at the Turtle Bay Hilton, Oahu, Hawaii. This conference differed from other modeling meetings by focusing on critical assessment-to what extent models have been adequate to address water, land, and environmental problems and have been able to advance scientific understanding of groundwater systems. These needs have been made acute by the very popular use and sometimes misuse of computational (numerical) models in recent years. Consequently, the crucial issue is, what is needed in the next generation of models in light of the critiques?
