Abstract: Policies and resources currently available to engineers do not provide proper guidance in the model selection process. These resources range from approved lists to guidelines for performing calculations. They do not present the strengths, weaknesses, or limitations of individual models. Today's engineers must select an engine to use for a study based on publicity rather than capability, often resulting in inappropriate application, frustration, and incorrect results. A selection tool to aid engineers needs to test model capabilities by comparing model output with analytical solutions, laboratory tests, and physical case studies. The first step in building this tool involves gathering and categorizing such data. A repository designed for this purpose has been created and made available to the engineering community. This repository can be found at http: //verification. aquaveo. com. This allows engineers and regulators to store and access data based on observed site characteristics.
