Key Points Discrete method needs substantial storage space, especially for longer modeling periods and smaller time intervals. Provides feasible solutions. Adjusting parameters, such as modeling period, time intervals and hydraulic model details, are important to obtain accurate results during reasonable running time. Evolutionary algorithms are useful to optimize pumping.
