It shows you how to more effectively use simulation-optimization (S-O) modeling, an economically valuable groundwater management tool that couples simulation models with mathematical optimization techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for readers of varying familiarity with groundwater hydrology and mathematical optimization, the handbook approaches complex problems realistically. Its techniques have been applied in many legal settings, with produced strategies providing up to 57% improvement over those developed without S-O modeling. These techniques supply constructible designs, planning and management strategies, and metrics for performance-based contracts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearn how to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecognize opportunities for applying S-O models \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLead client, agency, and consultant personnel through the strategy design and adaptation process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFormulate common situations as clear deterministic\/stochastic and single\/multiobjective mathematical optimization problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistinguish between problem nonlinearities resulting from physical system characteristics versus management goals \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreate an S-O model appropriate for your specific needs or select an existing transferrable model\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop acceptable feasible solutions and compute optimal solutions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuantify tradeoffs between multiple objectives \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvaluate and adapt a selected optimal strategy, or use it as a metric for comparison\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the author’s numerous real-world designs and more than 30 years of research, consulting, and teaching experience, this practical handbook supplies design procedures, detailed flowcharts, solved problems, lessons learned, and diverse applications.
