A Multi-Objective Optimal Model for a Petroleum-Contaminated Aquifer Groundwater Remediation in Western Canada

During the groundwater has been suffered from varies degrees pollution. It needs an approach to help decision maker to determine remediation strategies. In this study, a groundwater multi-objective model that includes two objectives (i.e. total remediation cost and average concentration after remediation) is proposed and successfully applied to a petroleum-contaminated aquifer located in western Canada. It can determine a remediation strategy through optimal software MATLAB after convert multi-objective into a non-linear objective using alpha liner weighting method.
