This post is not intended only to hydrogeologists, but also to any one who needs a working example of the use of a function minimum search.
It is very common for many scientific problems to search for a minimum condition. In optimization of problems it’s very common to use a minimum of least squares function between measured results and some model function.
In the following code you can see the results of a tracer test procedure preformed at a test site called Lauswiesen, at the skirts of Tübingen in southren Germany. This tracer test was performed as part of a course called Field Methods in Hydrogeology given in the Master’s program of Applied Environmental Geosciences.
