Abstract: This paper presents an approach for incorporating reliability analysis in the prediction of excess pore pressures caused by thawing of frozen soils. The proposed approach is a risk‐based procedure that can be used to develop ...

Abstract: A number of nonlinear optimization-based multiple-objective management models for sustainable utilization of coastal aquifers are formulated and solved. The management objectives represent plausible scenarios for planned ...

Abstract: The numerical simulation of seawater intrusion with a considerable transition zone requires simultaneous solution of the discretized ground-water flow and transport equations. A nonlinear optimization method for solving ...

Abstract: A set of different methodologies are developed for multiple objective management of coastal aquifers. The coastal aquifer management models are developed using a numerical simulation model, meta-model, and the multiple ...

Abstract: Management of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers should be based on robust management strategies and monitoring of their impacts. A robust optimal management strategy is less sensitive to deviations from prescribed ...

Abstract: Determination of groundwater contaminant source characteristics such as release histories of unknown groundwater pollutant sources from concentration observation data is an inverse problem. Often solution to this inverse ...

Abstract: In this study, a multiobjective model for optimal monitoring network design is presented, which aims to improve the accuracy of groundwater pollution source identification using concentration measurement from a designed ...

Abstract: Management models are developed and solved that are based on the advective-dispersive density-dependent miscible flow and transport processes in the aquifer. Various conflicting objectives of aquifer management are considered ...

Abstract: Groundwater contamination source characterization is the prerequisite for the rehabilitation and remediation of contaminated aquifers. This study demonstrates the computational feasibility and application of an efficient ...
