Ground Water - Flow Rate for Bore Combinations

[Sonam Tshering]

Dear All,

I am a student doing a groundwater optimization project using Mixed Integer Programming.

The objective is to maximize production, and I am using a constant flow rate in my model due to the nature of the pumps. The model will generate a set of bore activations at any time in line with regulatory requirements.

However, I recently found that the flow rate in the bores is a function of the different bore combinations. I am not sure what is causing this. However, I have to model this behavior to use it to find the flow rate for each combination so that I can use it in my model. 

Has anyone experienced this before? Are there any studies on this subject? I would appreciate any help on this.

Best regards,

ST

Replying your question. Here is my take below:

I have done a couple of projects related to Optimization of Mining, civil, construction depresuurization/ dewatering, contamination remediation, reclamation, Containment of plume,  Pumping constraints, Rechareg balance, Well optimisation, bore field sustainable yield based in constraints including environmental, engineering, financial etc.

Groundwater Vistas has got Optimization tools such as  Brute Force, MODOFC, SOMOS, 

PBMO software from HydroGeologic, Inc to evaluate alternative pumping strategies, including varied extraction rates and more

Regards,
