This paper surveys the literature associated with the application of evolutionary algorithms
(EAs) in coastal groundwater management problems (CGMPs). This review demonstrates …

There is increasing concern about groundwater scarcity, environmental problems, and its
socio-economic consequences. Therefore, questions have been raised about new …

Single and multiple surrogate models were compared for single-objective pumping
optimization problems of a hypothetical and a real-world coastal aquifer. Different instances …

This paper proposes an extension method for Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm
called Dynamic Impact. Dynamic Impact is designed to improve convergence and solution …

The computationally expensive variable density and salt transport numerical models hinder
the implementation of simulation-optimization routines for coastal aquifer management. To …

Using a simulation-based approach, sorptive barrier design can be expressed as a
nonlinear and mixed-integer optimization problem, and metaheuristic searching algorithms …

The spatial and temporal aspects of forest planning are taken into consideration in this
paper in a forest harvest scheduling problem that is treated with the following two conflicting …

This chapter is dedicated to the method of genetic algorithms. Aiming at offering the
essentials and at encouraging prospective users, it includes:(a) Description of the basic idea …

In this paper, an optimisation model is developed to determine the optimal crop pattern and
allocation of irrigation water under full and deficit irrigation conditions for adaptation to …

In this paper, we present a new benchmark problem for testing both local and global
optimization techniques. This problem is based on ideas from groundwater hydraulics and …
