COLLECTIVE ADJUSTMENT OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A LARGE AQUIFER

The problem of evaluating the parameters of the mathematical model of
an unconfined aquifer is examined with a view toward development of automated
or computer -aided methods. A formulation is presented in which subjective
confidence ranges for each of the model parameters are quantified
and entered into an objective function as linear penalty functions. Parameters
are then adjusted by a procedure which seeks to reduce the model
error to acceptable limits.
A digital computer model of the Tucson basin aquifer is adapted and
used to illustrate the concepts and demonstrate the method.
