AQMAN; linear and quadratic programming matrix generator using two-dimensional ground-water flow simulation for aquifer management modeling

Abstract

PREFACEThis report describes a computer model that combines ground-water flow simulation with mathematical optimization in order to develop and evaluate aquifer management strategies. The computer program is intended for general application and may have to be modified by the user for specific field problems. Although the program will produce reliable calculations for a wide variety of problems, the user is cautioned that in some cases the accuracy of management solutions can be significantly affected by user discretion during implementation.The user is requested to kindly notify the originating office of any errors found in this report or in the computer program. Updates may occasionally be made to both the report and the computer program. Users who wish to be added to the mailing list to receive updates, if any, may send a request to the following address: AQMAN U.S. Geological Survey
