Abstract

The subject of this research is to determine the optimal pumping rate so that seawater can not intrude so much to the freshwater region. There are several ingradients affecting the fluctuation of the interface: some geological parameters, fluid parameters, the precipitation, artificial recharge and discharge(due to pumping) are such ones. The parameter of particular interest is the pumpage of freshwater. In this article all the parameters are assumed to be known except the freshwater pumping rate. By considering a suitable inverse or parameter estimation problem we want to determine the pumpage which will not make the interface rise over the permissible bound.
