Groundwater Optimization Handbook (eBook, PDF)

Flow, Contaminant Transport, and Conjunctive Management

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This how-to handbook thoroughly introduces you to groundwater systems analysis and simulation-optimization (S-O) approaches appropriate for most groundwater problems. It covers optimization terminology, principles, and techniques (deterministic, stochastic, multiobjective), and S-O algorithms used to successfully resolve real-world groundwater quantity and quality management problems, often at significantly reduced expense. Using numerous flowcharts and examples, the book offers guidance for formulating and solving optimization problems, creating or selecting appropriate S-O models, and adapting and implementing optimal strategies for managing flow, contamination, and conjunctive use. Such strategies (up to 57% better than strategies developed without S-O modeling) are implementable or provide comparative performance metrics.

Autorenporträt

Richard Peralta, PhD, PE, has used S-O modeling to design strategies for more than 20 sites or real-world projects. As a Utah Cooperative Extension Service water quality coordinator, he optimized nonpoint and point source contamination management, and collaborated with state and federal agencies in technology transfer and public education. Through the University of Arkansas, and subsequently Utah State University, private work, and the U.S. Air Force Reserve, he worked in 25 U.S. states and in numerous countries. For the military, he participated in and led many environmental contamination remediation evaluation teams and helped provide optimal solutions that were successfully implemented in the field. After several years of advising on environmental matters in the Pentagon, Colonel Peralta retired from the U.S. Air Force Reserve as a chief bioenvironmental engineer. He is a professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Utah State University, consults privately, and is the distributor of SOMOS software. For more information, see Dr. Peralta's page at the College of Engineering at Utah State University.

Contributing author Ineke M. Kalwij, PhD, PEng, collaborates with Dr. Peralta, working on groundwater optimization software development and publications. She also provides consulting services to clients, primarily in the area of groundwater system management. For more information, see Kalwij Water Dynamics Inc.
