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 groundwater system is often polluted by different sources of contamination where the
sources are difficult to detect. The presence of contamination in groundwater poses …

The identification of the source in groundwater pollution is the only way to drastically deal
with resulting environmental problems. This can only be achieved by an appropriate …

Often, when pollution is rst detected in groundwater, very few spatiotemporal pollutant
concentration measurements are available. The contaminant concentration measurement …

Groundwater pollution is the biggest threat to sustainability of groundwater resources and
even more difficult to detect in case of clandestine sources. At the time when pollution is first …

Remediation of contaminated sites requires an optimal decision making system to develop
remediation techniques in a cost-effective and efficient manner. A coupled simulation …

Backward probabilities, such as the backward travel time probability density function for
pollutants in natural aquifers/rivers, have been used by hydrologists for decades in water …

Implementation of monitoring strategy for increasing the efficiency of groundwater pollutant
source characterization is often necessary, especially when only inadequate and arbitrary …

Detection of groundwater pollution source is an inverse problem. To solve this inverse
problem, it has been posed into an optimization problem. In this study, a hybrid optimization …

The first step in effective design of contaminated aquifer site remediation is the accurate
characterization of contaminant sources, which requires a large amount of concentration …
