Describe a conceptual model that you would use to evaluate ground water contamination.

Help will be appreciated

Lol, i might be wrong but Conceptual-model is a concept idea that you formulate, almost like a concept car is a formulation of data that COULD work.

It means get an out-of-the-box idea and describe how you would implement it.

Very wacky/out-of-the-box = more marks.

got some ideas on the net after searching deep. But still difficult, what i got from it , it seems like it is a sort of organogram of sort I may be wrong

First you have to figure out what kind of contamination you are testing for. Heavy metal, chemicals, radioactive, particles, biological etc. The tests are different for each

In a broader sense conceptual model can refer to the 'mathematical model' that you will be using to determine certain aspects of the problem. For instance the model might postulate that Z = aX+bY and after some research it changes to Z = X^a-bY.
