The optimal distribution of well locations and pumping rates mitigatethis problem. In this paper, a trial to mitigate this problem in Tushki National Project,south western desert, Egypt was carried out via delineating the optimal well locations5and optimal pumping rates. The methodology bination between simulation andoptimization techniques was applied. A linked simulation-optimization model for obtain-ing the optimum management of groundwater ?owis used
