Seawater intrusion not only causes fresh water shortages in coastal areas, but also has a negative impact on regional economic and social development. Global climate change will affect precipitation, sea level, and many other factors, which will in turn affect the simulation and prediction results for seawater intrusion. By combining groundwater numerical simulation technology, an atmospheric circulation model, artificial intelligence methods, and simulation optimization methods, this study coupled a numerical simulation model of seawater intrusion with an optimization model to optimize the groundwater exploitation scheme in the study area under the condition of climate change.

The simulation-optimization method is widely used in the design of the groundwater pollution monitoring network (GPMN). The uncertainty of the simulation model will significantly affect the design results of GPMN. When the Monte Carlo method is used to consider the influence of model uncertainty on the optimization results, the simulation model needs to be invoked many times, which will cause a huge amount of calculation.

Seawater intrusion is a common problem in coastal areas. The rational distribution of groundwater exploitation can minimize the scope of seawater intrusion and maximize groundwater exploitation. In this study, an optimization method for the groundwater exploitation layout in coastal areas was proposed.

When using a simulation model to study seawater intrusion (SI), uncertainty in the parameters directly affects the results. The impact of the rise in sea levels due to global warming on SI cannot be ignored. In this paper, the Monte Carlo method is used to analyze the uncertainty in modeling SI.

The decision variables in this model are continuous, resulting in a weak recognition of integer variables including pollution source location. In addition, as the number of pollution sources increase, so the calculated load increases exponentially and accuracy decreases.

Compared with previous approaches, our proposed method has the following advantages: (1) a surrogate surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation simulation model is constructed using a Gaussian process; (2) the accuracy of the surrogate model is improved by constructing ensemble surrogates using five different surrogate modelling techniques, i.e.
