Water is essential for human survival. Its quality must be maintained to prevent any potential
health problems. Pollution and contamination are likely causes of the water quality decline …

The purpose of this survey is to review parameter identification procedures in groundwater
hydrology and to examine computational techniques which have been developed to solve …

This paper presents a short history of water resources systems analysis from its beginnings
in the Harvard Water Program, through its continuing evolution toward a general field of …

Finding the history of a groundwater contaminant plume from measurements of its current
spatial distribution is an ill‐posed problem and, consequently, its solution is extremely …

The reliable assessment of hazards or risks arising from groundwater contamination
problems and the design of efficient and effective techniques to mitigate these problems …

Parameter estimation and contaminant source characterization are key steps in the
development of a coupled groundwater flow and contaminant transport simulation model …

To date optimization models for groundwater quality management give no assurance that
water quality standards will be met. This is in part because they ignore errors in hydraulic …

Fast and accurate identification of unknown pollution sources is a crucial and challenging
task in water resources management, in which the characteristics of unknown pollution …

The contents of this book are: Groundwater resources; Groundwater flow equations;
Groundwater quality--the mass transport problem; Numerical methods in groundwater …

A geostatistical approach to contaminant source estimation is presented. The problem is to
estimate the release history of a conservative solute given point concentration …
