A method for locating wells in a groundwater monitoring network under conditions of uncertainty

Abstract: A method is presented for locating wells in a monitoring network under conditions of uncertainty. The method couples the use of a simulation model of contaminant transport and a facility location model. The Monte Carlo technique is used with the simulation model to translate uncertainty in the simulation model parameters into uncertainty in the contaminant concentration distribution. The simulation model determines which well locations would detect a given realization of a contaminant plume with a concentratio… Show more

“…The formal objective function is a weighted sum of the first two objectives while the third objective is most easily included as a constraint. Details on the optimization model are given by Meyer [1992] and Meyer et al [1994].…”

“…To design detection-based compliance monitoring in groundwater systems, either a statistical simulation or qualitative approach may be used. The former utilizes transport models to simulate the evolution of contaminants in groundwater (e.g., Massmann and Freeze, 1987a, b;Meyer and Brill, 1988;Ahlfeld and Pinder, 1988;Meyer et al, 1989). Each contaminant distribution is obtained from realizations of flow and transport parameters that are drawn from assumed statistical distributions.…”

“…Previous authors described approaches for configuring groundwater monitoring networks or testing the capability of specified networks for certain contaminant migration boundaries (Meyer & Brill, 1988;Meyer et al, 1994;Cieniawski et al, 1995;Storck et al, 1997;Hudak, 1998;Angulo & Tang, 1999). The objective of this study was to test the detection capability of alternative monitoring networks for different contaminant migration boundaries.…”
