On the (im)possible validation of hydrogeological models by Andréassian, Vazken

“…In that debate, [Konikow and Bredehoeft, 1992a] argued that the word “valid” was misleading to the public and should not be used with respect to models. [de Marsily et al., 1992] answered that while the bases of hydrogeological models (conservation of mass and Darcy’s law) were uncontestable and unconditionally valid, specific validation exercises were dearly needed to evaluate the parameters and the geometry of these models (confronting the models with data they had not seen during the calibration phase). …”
