Abstract

Modeling socio-hydrological interactions are one of the essential requirements for water resources management in water-stressed areas. The Ardabil aquifer (Northwestern Iran) is one of the restricted aquifers under intense development activities. The water table is dramatically declining leading the area to an upcoming environmental disaster. To address this problem, a simulation-Optimization model has been developed in this study, which simulates groundwater level changes and determines the optimal water exploitation values. The simulation and Optimization models have been linked by a new method in MATLAB which provides access to various MODFLOW packages and takes up less memory for iterative runs. The simulation-Optimization model has been then linked to an agent-based model, which simulates agents’ behavior and their interactions. For the purpose of this modeling, firstly the key agents and their desirability have been determined. Then, the particle swarm Optimization algorithm was used to estimate the agents’ desired groundwater exploitation values. In the next step, the best solution was selected according to the experts' point of view using the compromised programming method. Finally, the agent-based model provided the final exploitation values, taking into account social pressure and management rules (incentives and penalties). The results showed that groundwater demand can be reduced up to 22% in comparison to the initial value. This demand reduction resulted in 90 cm increase in the groundwater level for the entire plain.
