Monitoring network design and identitication of unknown groundwater pollution sources using a feedback based linked simulation-optimization methodology

Australia has a widespread and significant incidence of land and water contamination, which can lead to economic, trade, ecosystem and human health impacts. Over the past 20 years the problem has been growing and there is also a growing realization of the extent of the problem. The installation of monitoring network is pivotal for understanding the groundwater hydraulics and subsurface contamination. At the same time the process is expensive. The systematic study of the subsurface system with the available scanty data regarding the groundwater flow and the subsurface contamination can help us to arrive at the optimum monitoring network design for effective site characterization.
