Groundwater resources are an important part of water supply in Canada and much of the world. In many places, groundwater levels have dropped dangerously low or wells have gone dry due to over exploitation. A necessary condition for sustainable groundwater management is the existence of tools that can quantitatively predict the response of aquifers to pumping. The mathematical models and tools required for accurate predictions exist for simple aquifers. However some aquifers are complex because the connection between different parts of the aquifer are complex. It remains one of the great challenges in hydrogeology to evaluate complex aquifers and predict their response to pumping and changes in recharge.

地下水资源是加拿大和世界大部分地区供水的重要组成部分。在许多地方，由于过度开采，地下水位下降到危险的低水平，或者水井干涸。地下水可持续管理的一个必要条件是存在能够定量预测含水层对抽水反应的工具。对于简单的含水层，存在着准确预测所需的数学模型和工具。然而，有些含水层是复杂的，因为含水层不同部分之间的联系很复杂。评价复杂含水层并预测其对抽水和补给变化的响应仍然是水文地质学中的重大挑战之一。
