many real water resources optimization problems involve conflicting objectives. in this study, multiobjective genetic algorithm nsga-ii, has been developed for optimization the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources and optimal management of supply and demand of agricultural water. here, optimal allocation of land and water resources to the dominant products in najaf abad pl...

Groundwater level prediction in a water basin plays a significant role in the management of groundwater resources. Aground water level forecasting system is developed in this study using Support vector Machines (SVM). Further Quantum behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) function is employed in this study to determine the SVM parameters. Later, the proposed SVM-QPSO model is used in determ...

This paper reviews groundwater research studies with emphasis on modeling as a tool for management of Hawaii’s resources. Hawaii depends to a great extent on groundwater resources, and concern over availability of potable water has guided research regarding both water quantity and quality. Research is mainly aimed at understanding Hawaii hydrogeology, identifying aquifer parameters and modeling...

Background & Aims of the Study: Groundwater resources are a crucial component of the ecosystem. Management and cleanup of contamination from groundwater resources requires a long term strategy and a huge amount of investments. Artificial neural networks (ANN) and Geographic Information System (GIS) can be useful in determining management strategies. To protect these valuable resourc...

nowadays, groundwater resources play a vital role as a source of drinking water in arid and semiarid regions and forecasting of pollutants content in these resources is very important. therefore, this study aimed to compare two soft computing methods for modeling cd, pb and zn concentration in groundwater resources of asadabad plain, western iran. the relative accuracy of several soft computing...

Kathmandu Valley aquifer in central Nepal is continuously under stress since the commencement of mechanized extraction of groundwater resources in early 1970s. Many wells have been drilled in shallow and deep aquifers of the valley; and numerous studies have been made in last four decades to understand the aquifers. However, up-to-date information on well inventory, water extraction, water qual...

the groundwater resources of the urmia plain have been under intensive tension for the last recent years. this has caused the production and observation wells to become dry and in some local places well deepening to take place. in some other locations, the groundwater level is high and there is a danger of local water logging condition along with its associated drainage work. for the settlement...
