Estimation of Uncertainty associated with groundwater modeling is an important aspect in nuclear industries. Traditional methods for propagating the uncertainty, such as Monte Carlo require prohibitive number of model simulation for complex model. Stochastic response surface method which is more computationally efficient is based on polynomial expansion of model input and output in terms of well behaved random variables that are identically and independently distributed. The model output at collocation point is evaluated to know the unknown coefficients in the series expansion of output. The uncertainty in concentration profile and degree of uncertainty is evaluated for model. The present paper describes the novel approach of stochastic response surface technique to estimate the uncertainty in the groundwater modeling.
