Short summary
With the growing use of machine learning for groundwater level (GWL) prediction, proper performance estimation is crucial. This study compares three validation strategies—blocked cross-validation (bl-CV), repeated out-of-sample (repOOS), and out-of-sample (OOS)—for 1D-CNN and LSTM models using meteorological inputs. Results show that bl-CV offers the most reliable performance estimates, while OOS is the most uncertain, highlighting the need for careful method selection.
