Optimizing Energy Costs and Water Whithdrawal in a Prototype Water Supply System

Water requirements in many large water supply systems are provided by mixing water withdrawal from surface and underground resources with different quantity and quality.Water supply from underground sources requires energy consumption and surface water resources are limited and unstable.The aim of this research is managing optimal supply of required water of system with minimum energy cost and ...
