Title: Groundwater optimization handbook
Description: "This how-to book presents a thorough introduction to groundwater systems analysis and appropriate simulation optimization (S/O) approaches for several types of groundwater problems. It covers optimization terminology, principles, and S/O computational approaches and introduces optimization theory and algorithms that have been successful in resolving water quality and groundwater management problems. The author offers guidance for simplifying and solving optimization problems with selected S/O approaches and models by offering case studies, flowcharts, and numerous examples. A dictionary of terminology and access to free software is also included"--

"Book overview Existing and impending water shortages compel improved water quantity and quality management. The handbook demonstrates : - true optimization of groundwater and conjunctive water management; - real-world design procedures, as opposed to academic exercises; - how to lead client, agency and consultant personnel through the strategy design and adaptation process; - a realistic approach to complex problems for individuals with varying levels of familiarity with groundwater hydrology and mathematical optimization; - how to formulate common situations as clear deterministic or stochastic mathematical optimization problems;"--
