Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal aquifers serve as major sources for freshwater supply in many countries around the world, especially in arid and semi-arid zones. Many coastal areas are also heavily urbanized, a fact that makes the need for freshwater even more acute. Coastal aquifers are highly sensitive to disturbances. Inappropriate management of a coastal aquifer may lead to its destruction as a source for freshwater much earlier than other aquifers which are not connected to the sea. The reason is the threat of seawater intrusion. In many coastal aquifers, intrusion of seawater has become one of the major constraints imposed on groundwater utilization. As sea water intrusion progresses, existing pumping wells, especially those close to the coast, become saline and have to be abandoned. Also, the area above the intruding seawater wedge is lost as a source of natural replenishment to the aquifer. Despite the importance of this subject, so far there does not exist a book that integrates our present knowledge of seawater intrusion, its occurrences, physical mechanism, chemistry, exploration by geo physical and geochemical techniques, conceptual and mathematical modeling, analytical and numerical solution methods, engineering measures of combating seawater intrusion, management strategies, and experience learned from case studies. By presenting this fairly comprehensive volume on the state-of-the-art of knowledge and ex perience on saltwater intrusion, we hoped to transfer this body of knowledge to the geologists, hydrologists, hydraulic engineers, water resources planners, managers, and governmental policy makers, who are engaged in the sustainable development of coastal fresh ground water resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers together a set of chapters covering recent development in optimization methods that are inspired by nature. The first group of chapters describes in detail different meta-heuristic algorithms, and shows their applicability using some test or real-world problems. The second part of the book is especially focused on advanced applications and case studies. They span different engineering fields, including mechanical, electrical and civil engineering, and earth/environmental science, and covers topics such as robotics, water management, process optimization, among others. The book covers both basic concepts and advanced issues, offering a timely introduction to nature-inspired optimization method for newcomers and students, and a source of inspiration as well as important practical insights to engineers and researchers.
Download or read book Multi objective Management Of Saltwater Intrusion In Groundwater written by Minh Thuan Tran and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Groundwater aquifers are an important resource in coastal regions. In many areas where there is no fresh surface water from rivers or reservoirs, the development of ground water resources is practically the only alternative to storage of rainwater. However, the coastal aquifers are very vulnerable to the seawater intrusion through the overdraft of groundwater exploitation or insufficient recharge from upstream, etc. In order to control sea water intrusion, varying forms of saltwater intrusion management models have been studied. They address the optimal ground water pumping and recharge schedules with or without surface water supplies for conjunctive use. Contents include: Introduction, Literature Review, The Response of Saltwater Intrusion Lengths with Respect to the Stresses and Transmissivities - Sensitivity Analysis Based on the SHARP Computer Code, Conic Quadratic Programming, Development of the Methodology for the Multi-Objective Saltwater Intrusion Management Model, Hypothetical Example Results for the Quasi-Three-Dimensional SHARP Model Simulation of a One-Layered Aquifer, The Results of the Real-World Case Application, Conclusions and Recommendations."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research has provided two new methods to control seawater intrusion using a subsurface barrier through development and application of the implicit and explicit simulation-optimization approaches. The objective is to develop implicit and explicit simulation-optimization models for design of a subsurface barrier that controls seawater intrusion. No prior work has been done in which a model for optimal design of a barrier for controlling seawater intrusion is developed. The objective of he seawater intrusion control problem is to minimize the total construction costs while requiring that salt concentrations be held below specified values at two control locations at the end of the design period. An implicit simulation-optimization model is developed for the design of a subsurface barrier to control seawater intrusion. This approach combines a groundwater flow and solute transport simulation model with nonlinear optimization. The more significant development has been simulating a groundwater flow and solute transport model within the genetic algorithm (GA) based optimization method. Both explicit and implicit simulation-optimization models are developed to solve the same problem, and the results are compared. The results indicate that these two models provide a unique solution that may reduce the high construction cost of a barrier. The conclusion drawn from a series of tests performed in support of this work is that the explicit simulation-optimization model using GA performs as well as, if not better than, the implicit simulation-optitimization model employing the gradient-based technique. Development of two methodologies for seawater intrusion control through the implicit and explicit simulation-optimization models is a major achievement of the present study.
