Abstract: | A transient simulation model characterizing groundwater flow in the coastal aquifer of Rhis-Nekor was constructed and calibrated.
The flow model was then used in conjunction with a genetic algorithm based optimization model to explore the optimal pumping
schemes that meet current and future water demands while minimizing the risks for several adverse environmental impacts, such
as saltwater intrusion prevention, avoiding excessive drawdown, as well as controlling waterlogging and salinity problems.
Modeling results demonstrate the importance of this combined simulation-optimization methodology for solving groundwater management
problems associated with the Rhis-Nekor plain. |
