This day-and-a-half symposium will focus on the uses of operations research (optimization) techniques in addressing groundwater projects. The purposes of the conference are to:
- Provide the background information necessary for attendees to understand the mechanics of and unique benefits derived from performing optimization analyses, and
- Demonstrate a range of successful optimization applications so that attendees will be able to recognize when the application of optimization techniques could be beneficial to their projects.
The conference will consist of 1) an optional afternoon class that presents the basics of groundwater optimization techniques and 2) a one-day, single-track set of presentations that may include:
Remediation:
Plume Capture
Concentration Management
Seawater Intrusion Management and Mitigation
Water Resources:
Wellfield Management
Conjunctive Use Planning
Water Supply Sufficiency and Reliability Analysis
Groundwater Management for Quantity and Quality
Integrated Regional Water Resources Management Planning
Economics:
Conjunctive Use Management
Water Banking
Water Transfer Valuation
Litigation:
Damage Assessment
Adjudication
Groundwater pumping v. Water Rights and Other Third Party Effects
