Integration of Groundwater Models within an Economical Decision Support System Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
Groundwater is a vital resource in Australian agriculture. Increased demand for water resulting from rapid economic development accompanied by poor climatic conditions (e.g. low rainfall levels) has induced an increased reliance on groundwater harvesting to sustain intensive irrigation practices. Overdraft of groundwater as a result of reduced surface water availability, increased economic viability of farms and the capping of river catchment allocations have considerably lowered water tables.

Integration and calibration of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model in the framework of a decision support system for river basin management
Water balance models provide significant input to integrated models that are used to simulate river basin processes. However, one of the primary problems involves the coupling and simultaneous calibration of rainfall-runoff and groundwater models. This problem manifests itself through circular arguments – the hydrologic model is modified to calculate highly discretized groundwater recharge rate...
متن کاملIntegration of artificial neural network and geographic information system applications in simulating groundwater quality
Background: Although experiments on water quality are time consuming and expensive, models are often employed as supplement to simulate water quality. Artificial neural network (ANN) is an efficient tool in hydrologic studies, yet it cannot predetermine its results in the forms of maps and geo-referenced data. Methods: In this study, ANN was applied to simulate groundwater quality ...
متن کاملGIS Based Multi-Criteria Analysis for Assessment of Groundwater Potential and Land Suitability
The practical application of sustainable development concepts in groundwater resource management will be complex. The past studies indicate long-term aim of integration to develop the spatial decision support system (SDSS), which is devoted to help decision makers in spatial problems. The essence of this paper is to present a strategy of the groundwater potential with integrating geographical i...
