Integrated Wastewater Management
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 3
Abstract
A multiobjective goal programming method is proposed for use in analyzing problems involving a network flow structure which are commonly found in the wastewater and sludge management systems when cost functions are linear. The goals considered are the minimization of: (1) Costs, (2) water quality impact, and (3) land use impact. The model also selects interceptor routes, treatment plants, transport routes and sludge disposal sites, along with flow directions through these facilities under optimal solutions. A hypothetical example problem dealing with regional wastewater management is analyzed to demonstrate the potential usefulness of the method.
