This book systematically examines geological, hydro- and environmental geological, and hydrological modeling systems, along with their coupling possibilities. Modeling concepts are categorized into static and dynamic based on time dependency. Over recent decades, the application of these methods has evolved, with statistical and descriptive methods favored in static concepts, while numerical methods dominate dynamic concepts. Coupling methods are systematically described according to these concepts. Case studies, including “Subrosion Valley Unterwerra,” “Untere Mulde/Fuhne” (Germany), and the Nubian Aquifer System (Egypt, Libya, Chad, Sudan), illustrate different modeling approaches. The focus is on hydrogeological modeling systems that consider geology, soil water, and flow in both unsaturated and saturated zones, with limited attention to transport modeling and environmental geological models. A diverse array of modeling systems allows for tailored approaches based on specific objectives. The choice of modeling methods significantly impacts the coupling of systems, as statistical methods offer more flexibility than constructive methods. The book evaluates the interfaces for coupling, highlighting the potential instability of coupled systems. Tighter, more complex couplings often require greater stabilization efforts, as demonstrated in the Nubian Aquifer System and Untere Mulde/Fuhne case studies. The nature of coupling also
