NPGA-GW在地下水系统多目标优化管理中的应用

在地下水系统管理问题中,涉及到多个相互冲突的目标函数常常被简化为不同形式的单一目标函数来求解,这种通过单一目标函数的优化方法只能给出一个解,由此确定的方案有时会违背决策者的意愿。而通过多目标优化方法可以得到一系列供决策者权衡选择的解集。将地下水流模拟程序MODFLOW和溶质运移模拟程序MT3DMS相耦合,采用基于小生境技术的Pareto遗传算法进行求解,开发了一个用于地下水系统多目标管理的应用程序NPGA-GW。并将该程序应用于一个二维地下水污染修复问题的多目标优化求解,结果表明,该程序能够在较短的时间内得到一系列Pareto最优解,解的跨度足够决策者进行适当的选择,具有很好的应用前景。

Contribution of Geographic Information Systems for the Management of Water Resources： Case of Groundwater Resources of the Plain of Mascara （Algeria）

The plain of Mascara includes groundwater resources, heavily exploited for the needs of the population, industry and agriculture. However, this resource is under threat from the point of view of quality and quantity. The degradation of water quality comes from water discharges untreated （domestic and/or industrial） and from the irrational use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. The decrease in reserves is due to the effects of intensive exploitation. Several studies on the water resources of the plain generated a mass of very important data. In most cases, these data are disparate at different institutions managers （water resources, environment, etc.）, and are found recorded in paper documents, difficult to exploit. For this reason, it would be essential to use reliable new techniques, namely the GIS （geographic information systems）. The implementation of the GIS of the plain of Mascara （with extension to all the sub-basin of Wadi Fekan） must permit to organize the data and transform it into information. Integration, crossing and superposition of the data with other variables may contribute to spatial analysis and generate very important thematic maps. The GIS constitutes a very effective decision aid tool for the management, exploitation, preservation and protection of water resources. The exploitation possibilities of GIS are multiple, direct or indirect. We give an example as the coupling with a groundwater flow model that may be the subject of additional work.

Groundwater Management under the Kabu-ido System in Noubi Plain, Japan, 1810s-1860s

The purpose of this paper is to clarify how the Kabu-ido system can be employed to successfully regulate groundwater pumping. This was accomplished by analyzing surviving historical documents, including budgetary notes and a diary. The Kabu-ido system was a customary institution for groundwater management in a ring levee area of the Noubi Plain in Japan that consisted of three programs： restriction of groundwater pumping through a permit system, groundwater pricing and economic compensation. The system was created in the 1810s and survived for 100 years. This paper covers the Kabu-ido system from the 1810s to the 1860s, the first half of the 100-year history. Excessive groundwater pumping is not a new environmental problem. Although many case studies have investigated remedial actions, few have investigated how local residents addressed the problem before the 20th century because of a lack of documents. The Kabu-ido system is an exception in which of the procedure was documented in writing. The historical data indicate that it was a pioneering institution for groundwater management.

Numerical modeling of regional groundwater flow in the Heihe River Basin,China:Advances and new insights

Numerical groundwater modeling is an effective tool to guide water resources management and explore complex groundwater-dependent ecosystems in arid regions.In the Heihe River Basin(HRB),China’s second largest inland river basin located in arid northwest China,a series of groundwater flow models have been developed for those purposes over the past 20 years.These models have elucidated the characteristics of groundwater flow systems and provided the scientific basis for a more sustainable management of groundwater resources and ecosystem services.The first part of this paper presents an overview of previous groundwater modeling studies and key lessons learned based on seven different groundwater models in the middle and lower HRB at sub-basin scales.The second part reviews the rationale for development of a regional basin-scale groundwater flow model that unifies previous sub-basin models.In addition,this paper discusses the opportunities and challenges in developing a regional groundwater flow model in an arid river basin such as the HRB.

HydrIS: An Open Source GIS Decision Support System for Groundwater Management (Morocco)

A regional groundwater management system has been elaborated, integrating Relational Database Management System （RDBMS） and various web services. It consists of web geospatial application so-called HydrlS （ Hydrogeological Information System） based on Open Source components and technologies, leading to a feasible and low-cost solution. Therefore, HydrlS permits delivery of data from a number of heterogeneous sources to standards supported by the Open Geospatial Consortium （OGC）. The protocols used for exchanging data are also derived from OGC standards, i.e., WMS （Web Mapping Service）, WFS （Web Feature Service）, and WCS （Web Coverage Service）. Finally, a geoportal was developed, which consists of client-applications that communicate with different Web Services （WMS, WCS, and WFS） through HTTP-requests. A prototype for web-based GIS application was designed using the deegree Framework to provide systematic interfaces and functions. This system was developed to demonstrate the value of making hydrogeological data more widely accessible through client/server architecture. This experience and knowledge already gained in this project will be a source for technology transfer and policy decisions. Otherwise, this will enable user groups to improve the management of their groundwater resources and contribute to enhanced decision support capabilities.
