Chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) are
widespread groundwater contaminants often released as dense nonaqueous phase liquids …

Detecting where and when a contaminant entered an aquifer from observations
downgradient of the source is a difficult task; this identification becomes more challenging …

Forty years and 157 papers later, research on contaminant source identification has grown
exponentially in number but seems to be stalled concerning advancement towards the …

In this study, a new simulation–optimization approach is proposed for solving the areal
groundwater pollution source identification problems which is an ill-posed inverse problem …

This study contributes the Adaptive Strategies for Sampling in Space and Time (ASSIST)
framework for improving long‐term groundwater monitoring decisions across space and …

It is important to study the source-sink relationship of pollution. However, research on the
groundwater pollution sources and pollution sinks has often been conducted separately in …

The literature on the application of simulation-optimization approaches for management and
monitoring of coastal aquifers is reviewed. Both sharp-and dispersive-interface modeling …

Groundwater contamination by dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) poses a severe
environmental threat due to their persistence and toxicity. Modeling DNAPL contamination is …

In this study, an accurate model was developed for solving problems of groundwater-
pollution-source identification. In the developed model, the numerical simulations of flow …

In this study, we contribute a comprehensive framework for simultaneously assessing
solution quality and scalability for massively parallel multiobjective evolutionary algorithm …
