Coupled withdrawal and sampling designs for groundwater supply models

A coupled formulation of withdrawal and sampling designs for groundwater supply models is presented. The withdrawal design is described as a discrete time optimal control problem and solved using a closed loop stochastic control (CLSC) method. Two main features of the CLSC method are the anticipation of the future observation program and decomposition of the objective function into the deterministic and stochastic part. The former characteristic indicates the necessity for coupling the withdrawal and sampling designs, while the later feature allows a decision maker to estimate the uncertainty in the objective function if certain withdrawal rates are applied. The sampling network is sequentially developed, with the design criterion defined as a sensitivity of the objective function stochastic part to the uncertainty in the hydraulic head distribution multiplied with the variance of the hydraulic head.
