A. Accomplishments Introduction Dr. Peralta has spent 36 years conducting research and teaching in the areas of Agricultural and Water Resources Engineering, including 8 years at the University of Arkansas and 28 years at Utah State University. He has one patent for a method for maximizing robustness in the field of pumping strategies that are optimal for a different objective. He is lead author of a comprehensive groundwater optimization modeling handbook published in 2012. He has over other 260 publications, including 63 peer reviewed journal papers, 8 book sections, 10 simulation-optimization model manuals, one simulation model manual, 8 University Cooperative Extension Factsheets, 72 technical reports to clients, and other documents. He has mentored as major professor 36 graduate students and post doctorates. Dr. Peralta is well recognized nationally and internationally for his methods and models for optimizing groundwater and water resources management, as demonstrated by numerous invitations and consulting assignments in groundwater remediation and groundwater modeling. He has contributed to environmental management programs and groundwater remediation for the U. S. government. He led in helping develop an effective groundwater management plan for central Arkansas, in interactions with environmental agencies, in developing groundwater management and protection guidance in Utah, in developing optimal groundwater contamination remediation strategies for 12 US situations, and in leading groundwater and related water management research programs at Utah State University, and the University of Arkansas.


A1). Accomplishment. Optimizing Groundwater Flow Management. Dr. Peralta has developed groundwater simulation-optimization (S-O) models and groundwater management strategies. Notably, he developed a method for achieving aquifer safe yield in the Arkansas Grand Prairie region, including detailed analysis of technical feasibility and recommended changes in Arkansas water law. His methods were supported by groups comprised of water users, environmentalists, and federal and state agency personnel. He laid a critically important foundation, which was incorporated within the state water plan, and developed precursors for the ultimately adopted strategy combining reduced pumping, on-farm water conservation measures and water diversion from the White River with associated infrastructure. In projects both within and outside of the State of Arkansas, he significantly extended the range and situation complexity for applying S-O modeling to areas having high pumping density. He demonstrated the practicality of embedding and solving large highly structured (hepta-diagonal) constraints within optimization models. He quantified situations for which it is preferable to use embedding versus response matrix approaches for optimizing groundwater management. Dr. Peralta led projects developing perennial groundwater yield strategies for three areas in Arkansas and four in Utah. He led development of: a very efficient transferable surrogate simulator method and for simulation-optimization modeling for dynamic nonlinear stream-aquifer systems; and a method for developing resilient water use strategies that can sustainably support maximum populations using integrated water resources (papers in review). Impact: As a result of Dr. Peralta's efforts, and those of others, the State of Arkansas modified groundwater and surface water laws, and NRCS developed the necessary on-farm conservation practices, which have been implemented in the last decade. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is leading construction of river diversion and irrigation canals. The implementation of Dr. Peralta's vision and methods will substantially extend effective Arkansas aquifer life, protecting trillions of dollars in annual agricultural production. Several of his reports became part of the Arkansas State Water Plan. In Utah, his more recently developed simulation-optimization models and strategies have helped guide local water planners and aided negotiations with the Utah Division of Water Rights. His efforts provided impetus for releasing a moratorium on further groundwater use, enhancing regional development. He demonstrated feasibility of large-scale optimization for groundwater policy evaluation. He provided training in simulation-optimization model utilization in national and corporate venues, helping others to use such tools. His groundwater optimization handbook provides details of transient simulation-optimization modeling for managing flow of groundwater and hydraulically connected surface water resources. [Publication #126; #15, #50, #16, #38, #40, #41, #44, #45, #46, #55, #65, #73, #79, #89, #90, #91, #124, #240, #293, #303, #320, and #331.]


A2). Accomplishment. Optimizing Groundwater Contamination Management. Dr. Peralta has developed strategies and computational procedures for remediating groundwater contamination. These optimize design and management of well extraction and injection systems for environmental, economic, and volumetric remediation goals. They include classical and heuristic optimization for deterministic and stochastic situations. They address dissolved phase and non-aqueous phase groundwater contamination, and are applicable for pump-and treat (PAT), pump-treat-and-reinject (PTR), and in situ bioremediation. Optimization models employ calibrated simulation models. In deterministic modeling (employing simulation models calibrated via least-squares), one infers a 50 % probability that tight constraints (such as limits on head or concentration) will be satisfied in the field. Recognizing the inherent uncertainty in these systems, Dr. Peralta envisioned and led development of design strategies based on uncertain data. One stochastic method, applied to a southern California site, allows a priori user-specification of a desired reliability. The procedure creates an optimal strategy having the intended reliability (this differs from the normal approach of estimating a strategy's reliability after it has been computed). He demonstrated the second new procedure for a Washington State situation in which multiple well locations could yield the same deterministically optimal objective function value. From a host of deterministic strategies of equal mathematical optimality, the procedure selects and refines an opportune strategy to maximize its robustness in the field. The optimally robust strategy has the greatest likelihood of achieving user goals and objective function value in the field. This procedure has the important advantage of increasing robustness without degrading the objective function value. Impact: He developed optimal groundwater contamination remediation system designs and/or strategies for sites in Michigan and Massachusetts, and at three sites in California. His optimal strategies guided management changes, data collection, or increased study in Oregon, Utah, and Nebraska, and at three additional sites. Clients have generally estimated 20% cost savings for his optimal strategies when compared with strategies developed without using mathematical optimization. Client-projected fiscal savings have ranged up to $10M for a single design. Demonstrations, training and published practical guidance have promoted increased appreciation and use of optimization in remediation. He led the development of one patented optimization computational method that improves groundwater management strategy reliability in the field without degrading objective function value. [Publication #47, #92, #103, #157, #163, #179, #202, #247, #277, #248, #249; #277, #280, #282, #283, #289, and #306.]


A3). Accomplishment. Optimizing integrated & conjunctive water quantity & quality management. Dr. Peralta developed methods, software, and strategies for optimally using water without causing unacceptable hydrologic, environmental, legal, and societal impacts. His approaches are used to integrate use of multiple water sources, and to balance non-commensurate benefits, costs, and trade-offs. Some applications prevented non-point source pollution while maximizing productivity from agricultural water use. Techniques were for irrigating fields, coordinating groundwater and surface water resources at field and system scales, and system-wide loading of wastewater to streams. Irrigation strategies tailored for system, site, and pesticide characteristics, best control pesticide and nitrate contamination of groundwater. Two new simulation-optimization methodologies coupled vadose zone unsaturated flow and chemical transport with field level irrigation practice. For situation appropriateness, they use either layered volume balance or a Richard's equation-based flow simulation. These advanced the state of vadose zone optimization modeling beyond previous reported models. Other new simulation-optimization models coupled surface water and groundwater flow and transport simulators for stream-aquifer or reservoir-stream-canal-drain-aquifer systems. Predating use of heuristic optimizers for extremely nonlinear NPS-polluted water systems, the coupling approach showed the feasibility of optimizing conjunctive management to address water quantity and quality issues simultaneously. One application showed that using detailed reservoir-stream-aquifer modeling can improve reservoir management beyond the normal practices. Another methodology assured acceptable downstream salinity while maximizing productivity from surface water and groundwater. A third procedure anticipated total maximum daily load (TMDL) requirements, by showing how to maximize wastewater loading to streams without causing unacceptable stream contaminant concentrations. Another procedure used neural networks to simulate aquifer and reservoir responses to groundwater pumping, reservoir releases, and surface water diversions. He developed a prototype transferable optimization model that useful to sustainably optimize water allocation and use for local, regional, and national scales. Impact: His field-level methods and results helped Utah establish groundwater protection guidance for irrigators, without sacrificing crop yield. These proved especially beneficial to a state desiring to implement Clean Water Act requirements through voluntary user participation. Cooperative Extension agents were trained in these methods and provided advice directly to growers. Application of the multi-objective optimization approaches have fostered direct stake-holder participation. Some of Dr. Peralta’s software have been distributed thru federal, state, and commercial websites. The Government of Jordan invited a proposal toward implementing his optimization model nationally. [Publication #81, #80, #161, #167, #109, #116, #130, #146, #177, #240, #293, #303, #320, #322, ]


A4). Accomplishment. Leadership. Dr. Peralta has demonstrated significant leadership through cooperation with diverse stakeholders and mentoring of faculty and graduate students. His vision and leadership resulted in the development of effective groundwater management strategies in Arkansas. In the Air Force Reserve, he developed effective strategies for resolving conflicts with environmental agencies. This, plus the use of his environmental clean-up strategies resulted in the saving of many millions of dollars. As a professor, he advised 29 graduate students and post-docs. His research resulted in 57 refereed journal papers, 70 technical reports to clients, and 7 book sections, 6 software manuals, a comprehensive groundwater optimization handbook, and a draft book detailing use of widely applicable groundwater flow and contaminant transport simulation-optimization modeling, scheduled for publication in 2014. As interim head of the Biological and Irrigation Engineering Department (USU), Dr. Peralta overhauled the graduate admissions documentation, developed a standard operating procedure for continuous curriculum improvement, developed the first departmental Compact Plan with the University, envisioning how environmental and irrigation faculty and interests could merge symbiotically. He presided over the Department during a period of increased biological engineering emphasis, reconstituted the department's Corporate Advisory Board, and prepared for and hosted national engineering accreditation evaluation. As the Director of the USU Research Foundation Water Dynamics Laboratory (WDL), Dr. Peralta evaluated USU-USURF teaming arrangements for competitiveness and recommended adjustments, developed the first WDL Compact Plan, evaluated development opportunities, led the effort to include WDL on a Federal Price Schedule, obtained a preliminary cost estimate for constructing a new laboratory building, advertised, obtained projects, and led development of computational methods, including one awarded patent. Dr. Peralta has re-structured the three-semester sequence of capstone Civil and Environmental Engineering Design courses for Juniors and Seniors. This involved revising instruction, standardizing evaluation criteria used by peers, mentors, and instructor, documenting cooperative agreements between mentors and students and among students, and increasing involvement by industrial, governmental, and consulting mentors.
