Abstract. In this paper we proposed an optimization techniquefor improving the Monte Carlo algorithms based on Halton and Sobol algorithms. The novelty of the proposed approaches is that the optimization of the Halton and Sobol sequences is applied for the first time and essentially improves the results by the original sequences. The results will be of great importance for the environment protection and the trustability of forecasts.
