Abstract

The problem of where to drill wells, how many to drill, and how to pump them in order to maintain low water levels in an excavation most economically is formulated as a fixed-charge problem. The cost to be minimized includes fixed installation costs and the variable costs of pumping. The governing ground-water equations in numerical form are included as constraints. The solution includes optimal well locations, costs, steady-state discharge schedules, and hydraulic head distributions.
