Optwastewater: a Computer Program for Regional Wastewater System Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
OptWastewater, an easy-to-use computer program developed for regional wastewater system planning, is presented in this article. The regional planning of wastewater systems requires both the drainage of the wastewater generated by the population centers of a region and the meeting of the quality standards defined for the river. OptWastewater is designed to be a decision-aid tool. It incorporates a variety of optimization models aimed to find the best possible configuration of the system: single-objective optimization model; multi-objective optimization model; and robust optimization model. The type of results that can be obtained by applying OptWastewater are illustrated for three case studies.

An Efficient Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Regional Wastewater System Planning
At present, most wastewater systems are local, i.e., each city has its own system. However, in many cases, they could be better, both from the economic and the environmental viewpoints, if they were regional. The search for the best regional wastewater systems can only be effective if it is made through an optimization model. In this article, we report a study made to develop an efficient simul...

متن کاملIntegrated Optimization of a Dual Quality Water and Wastewater System
When addressing urban water problems, it is no longer adequate to consider issues of water supply, demand, disposal, and reuse independently. Innovative water management strategies and opportunities for water reuse can only be properly evaluated in the context of their interactions with the broader water system. An integrated linear deterministic optimization model is applied to Beirut, Lebanon...
