“…scenarios, while an optimization model answers the question of 'What is the best?' under a specific set of constraints (Singh 2014g, 2015c; therefore, combined use of simulation and optimization models is essential (Maddock 1972(Maddock , 1974Gorelick 1983;Willis and Yeh 1987;Hallaji and Yazicigil 1996;Ayvaz and Karahan 2008;Das and Datta 2001;Mantoglou et al 2004;Lu et al 2012;Yazdi and Salehi Neyshabouri 2012;Singh 2014h;Das et al 2015).

“…The aforementioned water-resources problems of irrigated agriculture have been solved by using a large number of simulation, optimization, and simulationoptimization models during the last few decades (Cheng et al 2000;Haouari and Azaiez 2001;Mantoglou et al 2004;Katsifarakis and Petala 2006;Konukcu et al 2006;Azamathulla et al 2008;Li et al 2011;Gaur et al 2011;Xie and Cui 2011). As far as the author is aware, there has not been a review of the individual and combined applications of simulation and optimization modeling for the management of groundwater resources associated with irrigated areas.…”

Irrigation is essential for achieving food security to the burgeoning global population but unplanned and injudicious expansion of irrigated areas causes waterlogging and salinization problems. Under this backdrop, groundwater resources management is a critical issue for fulfilling the increasing water demand for agricultural, industrial, and domestic uses. Various simulation and optimization approaches were used to solve the groundwater management problems. This paper presents a review of the individual and combined applications of simulation and optimization modeling for the management of groundwater-resource problems associated with irrigated agriculture. The study revealed that the combined use of simulation-optimization modeling is very suitable for achieving an optimal solution for groundwater-resource problems, even with a large number of variables. Independent model tools were used to solve the problems of uncertainty analysis and parameter estimation in groundwater modelling studies. Artificial neural networks were used to minimize the problem of computational complexity. The incorporation of socioeconomic aspects into the groundwater management modeling would be an important development in future studies.

“…The sharpinterface approach can be used in problems when the transition zone is relatively narrow, compared to the scale of the problem (Mantoglou et al 2004). The location of the sharp interface between the two fluids is determined by the difference between the hydraulic heads of the saline and fresh water and the volume of freshwater flowing towards the shoreline from inland.…”

“…Under transient conditions, the behaviour of the interface is controlled by both the freshwater and saltwater dynamics, because significant amounts of saltwater must enter or exit the aquifer following the interface movement (Mantoglou et al 2004).…”

“…According to this methodology, the physical system consists of two completely immiscible fluids with different constant densities (fresh and saline water) that form a mixing zone that is limited to an interface with a small finite width (Reilly and Goodman 1985). This approach has been applied and extended by many researchers such as: Mahesha and Nagaraja (1996), Dagan and Zeitoun (1998), Naji et al (1998), Guvanasen et al (2000), Brunke and Schelkes (2001), Mantoglou (2003), Mantoglou et al (2004), Ababou and Al-Bitar (2004), Karterakis et al (2007), Koukadaki et al (2007), Papadopoulou et al (2010a) and Papadopoulou et al (2010b). The interested reader is directed to Reilly and Goodman (1985) and Diersch and Kolditz (2002) for an extensive review of works utilizing the sharpinterface approach.…”

in a karstified coastal system using density-dependent modelling and comparison with the sharp-interface approach. Hydrological Sciences Journal, 57 (5), 985-999.Abstract Saltwater intrusion is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is exacerbated significantly by excessive groundwater exploitation in coastal aquifers. In order to determine the extent of saltwater intrusion in a karstified coastal aquifer in Crete, Greece, a three-dimensional, density-dependent groundwater flow and transport model was developed and compared to the more traditional sharp-interface approach. The karstified medium was modelled using a combination of the equivalent porous medium approach (for lower-order fractures) and a discrete fracture approach (for the main fractures/faults). The model takes into consideration the geomorphologic characteristics of the karstic system, such as the depth and orientation of the fault network, and the diffusion phenomena associated with the variable densities of freshwater and saltwater-parameters that create a complex system, inducing uncertainty in the model. The model results showed that the orientation of the fractures, the pumping activity and the fluid density effects drive the seawater intrusion front asymmetrically inland.

With rivers in critical regions already exploited to capacity throughout the world and groundwater overdraft as well as large-scale contamination occurring in many areas, we have entered an era in which multiple simultaneous stresses will drive water management. Increasingly, groundwater resources are taking a more prominent role in providing freshwater supplies. We discuss the competing fresh groundwater needs for human consumption, food production, energy, and the environment, as well as physical hazards, and conflicts due to transboundary overexploitation. During the past 50 years, groundwater management modeling has focused on combining simulation with optimization methods to inspect important problems ranging from contaminant remediation to agricultural irrigation management. The compound challenges now faced by water planners require a new generation of aquifer management models that address the broad impacts of global change on aquifer storage and depletion trajectory management, land subsidence, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, seawater intrusion, anthropogenic and geogenic contamination, supply vulnerability, and long-term sustainability. The scope of research efforts is only beginning to address complex interactions using multiagent system models that are not readily formulated as optimization problems and that consider a suite of human behavioral responses.
