Global spatial optimization with hydrological systems simulation: application to land-use allocation and peak runoff minimization
A general methodology is presented to integrate complex simulation models of hydrological systems into optimization models, as an alternative to scenario-based approaches. A gradient-based hill climbing algorithm is proposed to reach locally optimal solutions from distinct starting points. The gradi...
