“…SOMO1 uses classical optimization algorithms (simplex, branch and bound, gradient search, outer approximation). SOMO1 has been used for scales ranging for local to aquifer-wide (Das, et al, 2004) SOMO3 is ideal for groundwater contamination and water resources management when numerical flow and transport models are needed to simulate processes. SOMO3 also uses artificial networks as substitute simulators.…”

The Simulation/Optimization MOdeling System (SOMOS) has modules adapted for a range of international water resource management needs. The SOMOA module is best for field groundwater and conjunctive water management situations. It employs several analytical simulation models and several optimization methods to give appropriate optimal guidance for situations having sparse data. SOMOA requires understanding of the limitations of common analytical equations. It does not require experience in finite difference or element numerical modeling. SOMOS also has modules ideal for situations in which there is sufficient data for numerical modeling or aquifer and stream-aquifer systems. Emphasized here are SOMOA and its applications for common field-level water management problems. Sample situations include optimizing: minimizing required surface reservoir size for a period of low surface flows in a stream-aquifer system; conjunctive use for blending irrigation waters of different qualities; and artificial injection.
