Title: Least-Cost Groundwater Remediation Design Using Uncertain Hydrogeological Information

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/828508· OSTI ID:828508

The research conducted by at the Research Center for Groundwater Remediation Design at the University of Vermont funded by the Department of Energy continues to focus on the implementation of a new method of including uncertainty into the optimal design of groundwater remediation systems. The uncertain parameter is the hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer. The optimization method utilized for this project is called robust optimization. The uncertainty of the hydraulic conductivity is described by a probability density function, PDF.
