1 Introduction

Subsurface drainage is widely used worldwide to removeexcess water found below the earthrsquos surface [1] Whilesurface drainage removes excess water from the soil surfacebefore it enters the crop root zone subsurface drainagedecreases the groundwater level and provides a better en-vironment for the crop growth [2] Agricultural lands af-fected by salinity and high water levels generally requiresubsurface drainage [3] Two methods of subsurfacedrainage are commonly used which are horizontal pipedrainage and vertical well drainage Subsurface pipedrainage is a group of lateral pipes spread below the groundsurface with specific depths diameters and spacing betweenthem and connected with collector pipes that draw thesurplus water out of the study area Vertical drainage is agroup of vertical wells with specific diameters depths andspacing between themese wells are equipped with pumps

that withdraw water so the water level will decrease in thesurrounding area Land drainage helps to achieve waterbalance in the soil prevent its salinization and createfavourable conditions for plant growth Around the worldagricultural drainage plays a significant role in protectinginvestments in irrigation projects and agricultural produc-tion It helps also in preserving soil resources and foodproduction by improving land productivity and crop yieldsespecially in poorly drained soils [4] Most studies thatinvolve subsurface drainage were about the design of thedrainage network and the task is to find the best design orthe optimal design e most important strategy in de-signing the subsurface drainage is choosing proper values forthe spacing and depth of drains to minimize the total cost[5] And a lot of researchers have studied the cost analysis ofsubsurface drainage systems for different types [6ndash11]Cimorelli et al [12] have worked on the surface drainagenetwork optimal design and introduced a novel procedure

HindawiMathematical Problems in EngineeringVolume 2021 Article ID 8827300 11 pageshttpsdoiorg10115520218827300

for the best surface drainage network design Amethodologywas presented by Chahar and Vadodaria [8] for deter-mining the optimal spacing of ditches fully penetrating intoan isotropic and homogeneous porous medium over animpervious layer Another methodology was introduced byMoradi-Jalal et al [13] for the optimal operation and designof pumping stations based on solving a nonlinear large-scaleprogramming problem And a new management model waspresented by Moradi-Jalal et al [14] for the optimal op-eration and design of water distribution systems An ob-jective function was constructed by Sharma and Swamee[15] for the cost structure of a pipe network system eoptimization model described by Bennett and Mays [16] wasbased upon dynamic programming for nonserial systemsthat determines the minimum cost of a drainage channelsystem and the detention for a watershed A nonlinearsquare fitting routine was used by Wall and Miller [17] todetermine the effective values of conductivity and moisturecharacteristics of the model of soil water drainage And asimulation model of the optimal drainage network waspresented by Howard [18] in which channels shift tominimize the total stream power within the network

is paper presents a novel strategy for the best design ofsubsurface horizontal and vertical drainage in an area ofdifferent saturated soil layers with different hydraulic con-ductivity and permeability and the permeability is in-creasing with depth With the use of modern optimizationalgorithms we can find the suitable values of groundwatertable drawdown and pipestubewells spacing that lead to theminimum cost of the total subsurface drainage system

2 Methodology

e least-cost design is that satisfying all design constraintswith the minimum total cost e objective function for pipeand well drainage was determined by considering all costcomponents that affect the drainage network design enconstraints were formulated depending on the hydraulicstudy of the study area e result was a nonlinear objectivefunction with nonlinear constraints A survey of modernoptimization algorisms was conducted to find the onesuitable for the solution of the formulated optimizationproblem It was found that the interior-point optimizationalgorithm was adapted to the problem and produced sat-isfactory results Two computer codes for both horizontaland vertical subsurface drainage were developed in MAT-LAB environment in order to derive the optimal solution forboth types of drainage systems e solutions then werecompered to know how the lifespan and type of the projectwill affect the total cost of the network design

3 Pipe Drainage Costs

e major cost components of pipe drainage system aredrainage materials installation and operation andmaintenance

31 DrainageMaterials e costs of drainage materials anddrainage pipe installation work and structures are major

components of the total cost of a pipe drain projectDrainage materials include collector and lateral pipes filterspump set and pump house outlet structures and manholesand outlet pitching

Collector and lateral pipes the collector pipes have atransmission function to carry water to the outlet under thegravitational flow so the UPVC (unplasticized poly vinylchloride) corrugated nonperforated pipe is used for thecollectors e pipe diameter of the collectors is chosendepending on the expected flow Single Wall PerforatedFlexible Corrugated UPVC Pipes (outer diameters of80ndash355mm) are widely used for lateral pipes

Artificial filtersenvelopes the filter or envelope materialaround the pipes plays an important role in preventing thefine particles of the soil from entering into the pipes with theflow Nowadays it is preferred to use artificial filters ratherthan gravel filters e artificial filters are cheaper in cost ofbetter quality and easier to handle and transport than gravelfilters For medium and light soil it is preferred to usenonwoven polypropylene fibers with a thickness of morethan 25mm and an opening size of more than 300 micronsand a needle punched geotextile nonwoven fabrics are usedfor heavy soil Perforated pipes precoated with industrialfilter are more preferred than locally coated pipes for qualityinstallation

Pump set and structures pump set and structure consistsof diesel pump set and pump house manholes (junctionbox) and outlet structures Other cross drain structures mayalso be required in larger projects but these are avoided forsimplicity e outlet structure and manholes are precastReinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) pipes of differentlengths and diameters depending on the site conditions Inthe case of pump outlets 900mm diameter manholes and1200mm outlet structures are used where 900mm diametermanholes are used in the gravity outlets e bottom edge ofthe RCC pipe for outlet structures and manholes is closed byfixed plate at the bottom Plastic coated iron bars are pro-vided in the walls of outlet structures and manholes to helpin inspection and cleaning In the case of gravity outletsinstead of RCC pipes plastic manholes and outlet pipes haverecently been used Plastic manholes and outlet pipes arerelatively expensive but they are easy to carry handle andinstall at the project sites [19] A small stone structure isconstructed at the outlet to protect the pipe end fromcollapsing under the conditions of gravity outlet A rodentguard is provided to prevent the pipes from getting stuck anddamaged by rodents that may enter the lateral pipes

32 Installation Installing the drainage system is thefunction of the installation unit according to the specifi-cations and design Supervisors must specify that the in-stallation (including drainage equipment) is carried outstrictly in accordance with specifications and design Var-ious drainage machines such as hydraulic excavatorstractor-mounted trenchers self-propelled trenchers withlaser automatic control and self-propelled machines with LorV plough and laser control are used to install collector andlateral pipes [20 21] Currently laser control self-propelled

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

trenchers are used in large-scale quality of subsurfacedrainage pipes installations Other auxiliary machineries likebulldozers excavators tractors with trailers backhoe etcare also used for the movement of manpower drainagematerials and installation of outlets and manholes Indi-vidual farmers can use tractor mounted trencher in smallareas (1ndash5 ha) to install subsurface drainage pipes In suchcases it may be desirable to use a laser control device with atractor-mounted trencher to achieve suitable slope forcollector and lateral pipes

33 Operation and Maintenance e popular belief thatsubsurface drainage does not require any maintenance andoperation is untenable In the case of pump outlets pumpoperation is required for at least the first few years of in-stallation e maintenance of subsurface drainage systemsmainly involves removing sediment from outlets manholesand pipes also repairing or replacing the damaged outletsmanholes and pipes [20] In controlled drainage systemsoperations may also include closing and opening gates toreuse drained water to irrigate crops

4 Well Drainage Costs

It is recommended to establish a proper strategy for verticaldrainage system design and it should be connected with theeconomic factors For example we can choose large num-bers of tubewells with a small amount of discharge and aslight decrease in the groundwater level from each tubewellor we can choose small numbers of tubewells with a largeramount of discharge and a larger decrease in the ground-water level from each tubewell and a larger spacing betweenthe tubewellsere are a lot of choices and these choices arecontrolled by

(a) Tubewell depth(b) Tubewell spacing(c) Tubewell discharge(d) e decrease amount of the groundwater level

And the most suitable choice can be determinedaccording to the total costs as stated in (1)

e construction costs for vertical drainage project arecalculated by using the following equation

Wi ni lowast lH lowastC1 (12)

where ni is the total number of tubewells lH is the total depthof the tubewell (m) and C1 is the construction cost of eachtubewell per one meter depth ($m)

Moreover the annual investment costs are

Ui PWi + Uti + U

Ni (13)

where Uti is the annual cost of maintenance and service for

the tubewells ($) And it can be calculated by using thefollowing relationship

Uti ni lowastC2 (14)

where C2 is the annual cost of maintenance and service foreach tubewell ($) and UN

i is annual cost of electricity for thewithdrawal of water from each well ($) And it is given by

where Qi is the discharge from each tubewell (m3day) hi isthe pumping depth (m) t is the pumps operating hours inthe year (day) C3 is the cost of kilowatt hours of electricity($kwh) and η0 is the pump efficiency (minus)

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected

is paper presents a novel strategy for the best design ofsubsurface horizontal and vertical drainage in an area ofdifferent saturated soil layers with different hydraulic con-ductivity and permeability and the permeability is in-creasing with depth With the use of modern optimizationalgorithms we can find the suitable values of groundwatertable drawdown and pipestubewells spacing that lead to theminimum cost of the total subsurface drainage system

2 Methodology

e least-cost design is that satisfying all design constraintswith the minimum total cost e objective function for pipeand well drainage was determined by considering all costcomponents that affect the drainage network design enconstraints were formulated depending on the hydraulicstudy of the study area e result was a nonlinear objectivefunction with nonlinear constraints A survey of modernoptimization algorisms was conducted to find the onesuitable for the solution of the formulated optimizationproblem It was found that the interior-point optimizationalgorithm was adapted to the problem and produced sat-isfactory results Two computer codes for both horizontaland vertical subsurface drainage were developed in MAT-LAB environment in order to derive the optimal solution forboth types of drainage systems e solutions then werecompered to know how the lifespan and type of the projectwill affect the total cost of the network design

3 Pipe Drainage Costs

e major cost components of pipe drainage system aredrainage materials installation and operation andmaintenance

31 DrainageMaterials e costs of drainage materials anddrainage pipe installation work and structures are major

components of the total cost of a pipe drain projectDrainage materials include collector and lateral pipes filterspump set and pump house outlet structures and manholesand outlet pitching

Collector and lateral pipes the collector pipes have atransmission function to carry water to the outlet under thegravitational flow so the UPVC (unplasticized poly vinylchloride) corrugated nonperforated pipe is used for thecollectors e pipe diameter of the collectors is chosendepending on the expected flow Single Wall PerforatedFlexible Corrugated UPVC Pipes (outer diameters of80ndash355mm) are widely used for lateral pipes

Artificial filtersenvelopes the filter or envelope materialaround the pipes plays an important role in preventing thefine particles of the soil from entering into the pipes with theflow Nowadays it is preferred to use artificial filters ratherthan gravel filters e artificial filters are cheaper in cost ofbetter quality and easier to handle and transport than gravelfilters For medium and light soil it is preferred to usenonwoven polypropylene fibers with a thickness of morethan 25mm and an opening size of more than 300 micronsand a needle punched geotextile nonwoven fabrics are usedfor heavy soil Perforated pipes precoated with industrialfilter are more preferred than locally coated pipes for qualityinstallation

Pump set and structures pump set and structure consistsof diesel pump set and pump house manholes (junctionbox) and outlet structures Other cross drain structures mayalso be required in larger projects but these are avoided forsimplicity e outlet structure and manholes are precastReinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) pipes of differentlengths and diameters depending on the site conditions Inthe case of pump outlets 900mm diameter manholes and1200mm outlet structures are used where 900mm diametermanholes are used in the gravity outlets e bottom edge ofthe RCC pipe for outlet structures and manholes is closed byfixed plate at the bottom Plastic coated iron bars are pro-vided in the walls of outlet structures and manholes to helpin inspection and cleaning In the case of gravity outletsinstead of RCC pipes plastic manholes and outlet pipes haverecently been used Plastic manholes and outlet pipes arerelatively expensive but they are easy to carry handle andinstall at the project sites [19] A small stone structure isconstructed at the outlet to protect the pipe end fromcollapsing under the conditions of gravity outlet A rodentguard is provided to prevent the pipes from getting stuck anddamaged by rodents that may enter the lateral pipes

32 Installation Installing the drainage system is thefunction of the installation unit according to the specifi-cations and design Supervisors must specify that the in-stallation (including drainage equipment) is carried outstrictly in accordance with specifications and design Var-ious drainage machines such as hydraulic excavatorstractor-mounted trenchers self-propelled trenchers withlaser automatic control and self-propelled machines with LorV plough and laser control are used to install collector andlateral pipes [20 21] Currently laser control self-propelled

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

trenchers are used in large-scale quality of subsurfacedrainage pipes installations Other auxiliary machineries likebulldozers excavators tractors with trailers backhoe etcare also used for the movement of manpower drainagematerials and installation of outlets and manholes Indi-vidual farmers can use tractor mounted trencher in smallareas (1ndash5 ha) to install subsurface drainage pipes In suchcases it may be desirable to use a laser control device with atractor-mounted trencher to achieve suitable slope forcollector and lateral pipes

33 Operation and Maintenance e popular belief thatsubsurface drainage does not require any maintenance andoperation is untenable In the case of pump outlets pumpoperation is required for at least the first few years of in-stallation e maintenance of subsurface drainage systemsmainly involves removing sediment from outlets manholesand pipes also repairing or replacing the damaged outletsmanholes and pipes [20] In controlled drainage systemsoperations may also include closing and opening gates toreuse drained water to irrigate crops

4 Well Drainage Costs

It is recommended to establish a proper strategy for verticaldrainage system design and it should be connected with theeconomic factors For example we can choose large num-bers of tubewells with a small amount of discharge and aslight decrease in the groundwater level from each tubewellor we can choose small numbers of tubewells with a largeramount of discharge and a larger decrease in the ground-water level from each tubewell and a larger spacing betweenthe tubewellsere are a lot of choices and these choices arecontrolled by

(a) Tubewell depth(b) Tubewell spacing(c) Tubewell discharge(d) e decrease amount of the groundwater level

And the most suitable choice can be determinedaccording to the total costs as stated in (1)

e construction costs for vertical drainage project arecalculated by using the following equation

Wi ni lowast lH lowastC1 (12)

where ni is the total number of tubewells lH is the total depthof the tubewell (m) and C1 is the construction cost of eachtubewell per one meter depth ($m)

Moreover the annual investment costs are

Ui PWi + Uti + U

Ni (13)

where Uti is the annual cost of maintenance and service for

the tubewells ($) And it can be calculated by using thefollowing relationship

Uti ni lowastC2 (14)

where C2 is the annual cost of maintenance and service foreach tubewell ($) and UN

i is annual cost of electricity for thewithdrawal of water from each well ($) And it is given by

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

project lifespan e cost for operating vertical drainagepumps plays an important role in determining the optimaldesign when considering the lifespan of the project

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected

4 Well Drainage Costs

It is recommended to establish a proper strategy for verticaldrainage system design and it should be connected with theeconomic factors For example we can choose large num-bers of tubewells with a small amount of discharge and aslight decrease in the groundwater level from each tubewellor we can choose small numbers of tubewells with a largeramount of discharge and a larger decrease in the ground-water level from each tubewell and a larger spacing betweenthe tubewellsere are a lot of choices and these choices arecontrolled by

(a) Tubewell depth(b) Tubewell spacing(c) Tubewell discharge(d) e decrease amount of the groundwater level

And the most suitable choice can be determinedaccording to the total costs as stated in (1)

e construction costs for vertical drainage project arecalculated by using the following equation

Wi ni lowast lH lowastC1 (12)

where ni is the total number of tubewells lH is the total depthof the tubewell (m) and C1 is the construction cost of eachtubewell per one meter depth ($m)

Moreover the annual investment costs are

Ui PWi + Uti + U

Ni (13)

where Uti is the annual cost of maintenance and service for

the tubewells ($) And it can be calculated by using thefollowing relationship

Uti ni lowastC2 (14)

where C2 is the annual cost of maintenance and service foreach tubewell ($) and UN

i is annual cost of electricity for thewithdrawal of water from each well ($) And it is given by

where Qi is the discharge from each tubewell (m3day) hi isthe pumping depth (m) t is the pumps operating hours inthe year (day) C3 is the cost of kilowatt hours of electricity($kwh) and η0 is the pump efficiency (minus)

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

project lifespan e cost for operating vertical drainagepumps plays an important role in determining the optimaldesign when considering the lifespan of the project

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected

4 Well Drainage Costs

It is recommended to establish a proper strategy for verticaldrainage system design and it should be connected with theeconomic factors For example we can choose large num-bers of tubewells with a small amount of discharge and aslight decrease in the groundwater level from each tubewellor we can choose small numbers of tubewells with a largeramount of discharge and a larger decrease in the ground-water level from each tubewell and a larger spacing betweenthe tubewellsere are a lot of choices and these choices arecontrolled by

(a) Tubewell depth(b) Tubewell spacing(c) Tubewell discharge(d) e decrease amount of the groundwater level

And the most suitable choice can be determinedaccording to the total costs as stated in (1)

e construction costs for vertical drainage project arecalculated by using the following equation

Wi ni lowast lH lowastC1 (12)

where ni is the total number of tubewells lH is the total depthof the tubewell (m) and C1 is the construction cost of eachtubewell per one meter depth ($m)

Moreover the annual investment costs are

Ui PWi + Uti + U

Ni (13)

where Uti is the annual cost of maintenance and service for

the tubewells ($) And it can be calculated by using thefollowing relationship

Uti ni lowastC2 (14)

where C2 is the annual cost of maintenance and service foreach tubewell ($) and UN

i is annual cost of electricity for thewithdrawal of water from each well ($) And it is given by

where Qi is the discharge from each tubewell (m3day) hi isthe pumping depth (m) t is the pumps operating hours inthe year (day) C3 is the cost of kilowatt hours of electricity($kwh) and η0 is the pump efficiency (minus)

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

project lifespan e cost for operating vertical drainagepumps plays an important role in determining the optimaldesign when considering the lifespan of the project

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

project lifespan e cost for operating vertical drainagepumps plays an important role in determining the optimaldesign when considering the lifespan of the project

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

project lifespan e cost for operating vertical drainagepumps plays an important role in determining the optimaldesign when considering the lifespan of the project

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

project lifespan e cost for operating vertical drainagepumps plays an important role in determining the optimaldesign when considering the lifespan of the project

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected

6 Results and Discussion

Table 5 shows the general parameters calculated for bothpipe and well drainage design

By applying these values on the computer code inMATLAB environment we derived the optimal solution forthe pipe drainage design for a range of lifespan as seen inTable 6

And the optimal solution for the vertical drainage designfor a range of lifespan is shown in Table 7

As we can see for horizontal and vertical drainagenetworks it is better to choose large distance between thelateral pipes and wells ese distances can be calculated byapplying the optimization model on the study area And forthe case study described above the vertical drainage will be abetter solution as subsurface drainage design for the whole

project lifespan e cost for operating vertical drainagepumps plays an important role in determining the optimaldesign when considering the lifespan of the project

7 Conclusions

In order to formulate an optimization problem for thedesign of subsurface drainage systems cost equations havebeen introduced for both horizontal and vertical drainagee cost equations contained the most cost components thataffect the subsurface drainage networks design en theoptimization problem constraints were derived from thehydraulic study of the case study e case study containsthree different soil layers with different hydraulic conduc-tivity and permeability and the permeability is increasingwith depth A mathematical model was formulated for thehorizontal and vertical drainage optimal design in the casestudye result was a nonlinear optimization problem withnonlinear constraints which required numerical methodsfor its solution A survey of modern optimization algorismswas conducted to find the one suitable for the solution of theformulated problem It was found that the interior-pointoptimization algorithm was adapted to the problem andproduced satisfactory results e results show that theproposed optimal mathematical model for both horizontaland vertical drainage networks was affected mostly by thedistance between pipes and wells and the optimal solutioninvolved the maximum possible values of pipes and tube-wells spacing Also for this case study the model gave alower cost for the designing of tubewells network comparedwith pipe network And the total cost for the verticaldrainage design involved minimum duration of pump op-eration when considering the lifespan of the subsurfacedrainage project e study has shown that the pipes and

tubewells spacing and the groundwater table drawdowncannot be selected randomly if we put the economic factor inconsideration Traditional pipes and tubewells design maylead to high costs compared with the optimal design It ishoped that the proposed optimal mathematical model willpresent a design methodology by which the costs of allalternative designs can be compared so that the least-costdesign is selected
