Abstract
A multi-objective linked simulation and optimization (LSO) model for a three dimensional saltwater intrusion problem has been developed. The LSO employs HST3D and Box’s algorithm. The weighting method of multi-objective optimization solves the multi-objective planning problem. The model is capable of determining the optimal pumping rates that minimize the saline concentration at the well sites, as well as, the cost associated with pumping, while satisfying an exogenous water demand. The model is valid for a wide range of applications as explicitly defined by the simulation model. The application of the model was limited to a modified version of Henry’s saltwater intrusion problem. Henry’s problem was modified to include a third spatial dimension and well sites. The multi-objective optimization yielded explicit tradeoff information between the two objectives.
