Tree structures, showing hierarchical relationships and the latent structures between samples, are ubiquitous in genomic and biomedical sciences. A common question in many studies is whether there is an association between a response variable measured on each sample and the latent group structure represented by some given tree. Currently, this...

In this paper, a decision tree is presented, constructed on the basis of hydrogeological characteristics (water table depth, freshwater thickness, surface area required and distance between wells), to choose the optimal groundwater extraction method in the case of a coastal unconfined aquifer. A comparison is made of the groundwater extraction methods in a freshwater aquifer of limited thickness occurring in coastal dunes in the eastern region of the Province of Buenos Aires (Argentina). The negative effects brought about by the wrong use of the groundwater extraction methods are analysed, because, as a result of excessive extraction, such methods lead to the dramatic decrease of the freshwater reserves. The decision tree is a useful tool to assist decision-makers as it suggests the most suitable groundwater extraction method options (vertical wells or wellpoints), as well as identifying areas that are unsuitable for sustainable groundwater extraction.
