Multi-objective optimal design of groundwater remediation systems: application of the niched Pareto genetic algorithm (NPGA)

A multiobjective optimization algorithm is applied to a groundwater quality management problem involving remediation by pump-and-treat (PAT). The multiobjective optimization framework uses the niched Pareto genetic algorithm (NPGA) and is applied to simultaneously minimize the (1) remedial design co...
