The findings are of use for model conceptualization and developing field characterization strategies in aquifer remediation.
In this work, several models are generated to study the impact of uncertainty inherent in subsurface model conceptualization and the controlling factors.
The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of multiscale heterogeneity, mechanistic and site model conceptualization, and source term density effect on elucidating and interpreting tracer movement in the field.

The former has the difficulty of accounting for drainage structure for post-development condition and the latter can run into erratic evaluation as the error can be introduced due to different model conceptualizations and parameterizations.
AFS, ASi, MN and DN were responsible for model conceptualization, design and assumptions; review and interpretation of results; and critical revision of the manuscript.
In this regard, model conceptualization, representation, and implementation as well as applications along the product life-cycle are addressed.
