A Location Selection Method for Wastewater Treatment Plants Integrating Dynamic Change of Water Ecosystem and Socio-Cultural Indicators: A Case Study of Phnom Penh

The selection of reasonable locations for urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is significant in controlling water pollution. However, most current WWTP location models focus only on population density, industrial zone scale and geographic elements, while ignoring pollution local socio-cultural indicators. We propose a novel indicator system from RS/GIS data to select WWTPs Phnom Penh avoid environmental deterioration harm human health. frequency occurrence eutrophication derived time series RS reveals the degree ecosystems, included as demand first time. In order respect customs, buffer zones religious sites are fully determine where construction forbidden. Subsequently, selected with fusion minimized facilities number maximum coverage models. results demonstrate that all highly suitable outside method proposed article provides more comprehensive scientific perspective selection.
