     "text": "Historically, water purveyors have applied various techniques to solve water-supply and water-quality problems. Although most purveyors rely on some form of conjunctive use of surface and ground water, seldom is there optimal management of an entire water system. Improved management of complex hydrologic systems should be possible by developing and applying mathematical optimization techniques. But, to date, there has been little actual use of formal optimization to solve real-world water-supply and water-quality problems. The San Bernardino area of southern California was chosen to test the application of constrained optimization techniques to help solve complex water-management problems."

A surface-water distribution model will be designed and constructed. Critical water-quality problems and potential management options will be identified. A constrained optimization model will be developed that combines the surface-water and ground-water models with the water-quality issues. New methods of water management will be evaluated."

As an aid to local water managers, this report provides an integrated analysis of the surface-water and ground-water systems, documents ground-water flow and constrained optimization models, and provides seven examples using the models to better understand and manage water resources of the area. As an aid to investigators and water managers in other areas, this report provides an expanded description of constrained optimization techniques and how to use them to better understand the local hydrogeology and to evaluate inter-related water-management problems."
