To identify alternative approaches to fill this critical data gap and properly parameterize the model, they evaluate the importance of surface water groundwater interactions, determine whether explicit coupling of watershed and groundwater models is warranted, and assess limitations in simulating human-aquifer interactions.

Limited data and uncertainty in aquifer parameters, - The study only investigates the groundwater balance in the Dead Sea Basin aquifer in Jordan, - The model was calibrated and validated against observed groundwater levels using the PEST-IES algorithm, - The study does not account for other factors that may affect groundwater levels, - The model is a simulation and may not accurately represent real-world conditions
