Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to cover the basic concept of linear optimization analysis and its applications in water resources engineering. The graphical and simplex solution methods for solving linear optimization problems are illustrated step by step. In addition, the applications of simplex method in solving water distribution network and one and two dimensional confined aquifer optimization problems using the Solver tool in Excel are presented.
