A ground-water management model using a nonlinear programming algorithm was developed to find the minimum cost design of the combined pumping and treatment components of a pump-and-treat remediation system and includes the fixed costs of system construction and installation as well as operation and maintenance. The fixed-cost terms of the objective function are incorporated into the nonlinear programming formulation using a penalty coefficient method. Results of applying the model to an aquifer with homogeneous hydraulic conductivity show that a combined well field and treatment process model that includes fixed costs has a significant impact on the design and cost of these systems, reducing the cost by using fewer, larger-flow-rate wells. Previous pump-and-treat design formulations have resulted in systems with numerous, low-flow-rate wells due to the use of simplified cost functions that do not exhibit economies of scale or fixed costs. Two example aquifers with heterogeneous conductivity fields were al...
