SOMOS
Simulation/Optimization Modeling System

SOMOS (Simulation/Optimization Modeling System) is a family of simulation/optimization modules to aid in optimally managing water resources. Resulting from twenty years of optimization model development and their application to real-world problems, this powerful, flexible windows-based software tool provides simulation capabilities and optimization algorithms that are invaluable for the development of mathematical and physical water management strategies.

SOMOS significantly improves water management or designs and saves money. Its user’s manual provides excellent training in principles of applying optimization to managing aquifer and stream-aquifer systems. SOMOS is currently being incorporated with powerful groundwater modeling and visualization packages.

A SOMOS_WEB version is now available to download and includes the following executables:

• SOMOS_SOMO3(vs2.2e) for running SOMO3 - for contaminant plume management problems such as optimizing pump and treat design
• SOMOS_SOMO1(vs1.6c) for running SOMO1 - for hydraulic optimization problems such as water supply, conjunctive use and plume containment problems
