Interactive Modification Of Quadratic Multiobjective Water Resources Planning Strategies, Paul J. Killian, Richard C. Peralta
Interactive Modification Of Quadratic Multiobjective Water Resources Planning Strategies, Paul J. Killian, Richard C. Peralta
Technical Reports
An interactive method is presented for modifying a compromise solution to a multiobjective water resources planning stategy by changing constraining conditions on regional objectives and local variables. The method is illustrated by modifying a bicriterion, sustained groundwater withdrawal strategy for minimizing the cost of meeting regional water demand on the Arkansas Grand Prairie. The strategy was developed using a model in which the finite difference form of the two-dimensional groundwater flow equation is embedded in an optimization process. The quadratic optimization is accomplished by utilizing the General Differential Algorithm to obtain values of the drawdown, pumping rate, and recharge rate …
Chemistry And Apparent Quality Of Surface Water And Ground Water Associated With Coal Basins, R. B. Stroud, J. L. Spellman, R. R. Potts, A. J. Oakley
Chemistry And Apparent Quality Of Surface Water And Ground Water Associated With Coal Basins, R. B. Stroud, J. L. Spellman, R. R. Potts, A. J. Oakley
Technical Reports
Personnel of the Arkansas Mining and Mineral Resources Research Institute conducted preliminary investigations on the chemistry and quality of surface and ground water associated with 12 coal-bearing sub-basins in the Arkansas Valley coal field. The coal field is approximately 60 miles long and 33 miles wide but only in 12 areas coal is thick enough and has proper quality to be termed commercial. Both surface and underground sample sites were established in each of the sub-basins with some minor variations in four areas where not all types of sites could be located. Water was collected from 19 surface points and …
Development Of Optimal Sustained Yield Groundwater Withdrawal Strategies For The Boeuf-Tensas Basin In Arkansas, Richard C. Peralta, Bithin Datta, Jamal Solaimanian, Paul J. Killian, Amin Yazdanian
Development Of Optimal Sustained Yield Groundwater Withdrawal Strategies For The Boeuf-Tensas Basin In Arkansas, Richard C. Peralta, Bithin Datta, Jamal Solaimanian, Paul J. Killian, Amin Yazdanian
Technical Reports
The goal of this study ia to develop sustained yield pumping (discharge via wells) strategies for the Boeuf-Tensaa Basin area. The demarkation of the Boeut-Tensas area is described in the Arkansas State Vater Plan (Arkansas Soil and Water Conservation Commission. 1984). The Boeuf-Teneas Basin ia a highly developed agricultural region located in the southeast corner of Arkansas. Hydrogeologically. it is part of the Bayou Bartholomew/Alluvial Aquifer System (Broom and Reed. 1973). Before describing the Boeuf-Tensas Basin, the Bayou Bartholomew region should be discussed.
Projections Of Agricultural And Fish And Wildlife Water Demand In The Ouachita River Basin: A Linear Programming Approach, Mark J. Cochran, Mike Tessaro, J. Martin Redfern, Larry Childress, E. Moye Rutledge, Rob Raskin, Robert N. Shulstad
Projections Of Agricultural And Fish And Wildlife Water Demand In The Ouachita River Basin: A Linear Programming Approach, Mark J. Cochran, Mike Tessaro, J. Martin Redfern, Larry Childress, E. Moye Rutledge, Rob Raskin, Robert N. Shulstad
Technical Reports
The availability of an abundant water supply has been a major resource of the Ouachita River Basin. In recent years, water requirements for a number of uses have increased, raising the concern that future water shortages could occur in the basin. The purpose of the study reported here was to estimate future water demand for irrigation, commercial fisheries, and fish and wildlife uses.
