Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Seawater desalination process is analyzed in this paper as an option for reducing the groundwater usage of overexploited aquifers in irrigated agriculture. The proposed approach is based on a new superstructure formulated as a multiobjective mixed integer nonlinear programming model, where power requirements of the desalination process and agriculture activity are supplied by an integrated steam Rankine cycle fed of solar energy and fossil fuels. The multiobjective function includes the minimization of the groundwater consumption and the minimization of the total annual cost; this cost is divided into the capital cost which consists of the catchment area, desalination process, power cycle and pumps, as well as the operating costs for pumping, fossil fuels, groundwater and desalinated seawater. A case study for the state of Sonora in Mexico was considered to show the applicability of the proposed approach. Results show that the maximum saving for groundwater consumption is about 66% with the proposed method.
