Abstract: The objective of this paper is to review the state of the art of systems analysis and optimization techniques developed in the field of water resources for the planning and management of a ground‐water system. The areas ...

Abstract: A technique for jointly configuring and scheduling a monitoring network for an aquifer tracer test is presented. A dynamic programming (DP) algorithm is used to select among competing designs for a test to provide data for ...

Abstract: An optimal experimental design algorithm is developed to facilitate the planning and the optimal configuration and scheduling of a ground‐water‐tracer test whose data are to be used to estimate model parameters. A maximal ...

Abstract: A nonlinear multiobjective management model has been developed for managing water use within a coastal region. Two conflicting objectives are considered: cost-effective allocation of surface water and ground water supplies, ...

Abstract: Soil vapor extraction is a cost-effective technique for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) immobilized in the unsaturated zone. The design of a soil vapor extraction system (SVES) requires that the number and ...

Abstract: Increasing demands for water by competing users in semiarid regions pose new challenges for water resources managers. Decision makers must understand the interactions between surface water, groundwater, and the environmental ...

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic approach for solving the management problem of a contaminated groundwater supply system. The proposed methodology begins with the selection of a supply water quality criterion based on a ...

Abstract: This work presents a novel approach for solving groundwater management problems with reduced computational effort. We replace a groundwater flow model governed by a partial differential equation with a simple model governed ...

Abstract: A calibrated simulation model is linked with two optimization models to investigate alternatives for enhancing seawater intrusion barrier operations for the Alamitos Barrier Project in Los Angeles. Two types of management ...
