A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A two-stage stochastic programming model for transportation network protection

This talk discusses some modeling and solution methods for the problem of pre‐disaster transportation network protection against uncertain future disasters. Given limited resources, the goal of the central planner is to choose the best set of network components to protect while allowing the network users to follow their own best perceived routes in any resultant network configuration. This prob...
