| Abstract | ||
| A two dimensional mathematical model is developed to simulate a groundwater flow regime of the upper part of Quaternary Deposites, in the Teeb area, Missan province. The optimum management of groundwater flow is developed by a linking simulation-optimization model. In this study, MODFLOW, 98 packages are used to simulate the groundwater flow system in unconfined aquifer. This model is integrated with an optimization model (Modular Groundwater optimizer) which is based on the simulated annealying (SA). Fixed well location case was undertaken by running the model with adopted calibrated parameters. The optimum value of pumping rate estimated through this study is (108320 m3/day), this value is compared with another previous work which based on genetic algorithm GA for the same area. The results of comparison showed that the optimum value obtained by SA is higher than the one obtained from GA by 18.35% for the same piezometric head draw down that indicate, the SA gives higher value than GA in this study. | ||
