A problem which often arises in drainage is to find the minimal total pump flow rate while satisfying the constraints placed on the hydraulic head and on pump flow rates. The freely available model-independent parameter optimization program, PEST, is probably the most popular optimization tool among groundwater modelers, but it solves minimization problems of a different form. In this paper we propose a conversion of this drainage optimization problem into a form that PEST can solve.
