Solving Inverse Problems of Unknown Contaminant Source in Groundwater-River Integrated Systems Using a Surrogate Transport Model Based Optimization

The paper presents a new approach to identify the unknown characteristics (release history and location) of contaminant sources in groundwater, starting from a few concentration observations at monitoring points. An inverse method that combines the forward model and an optimization algorithm is pres...
