Coupled Optimization-Simulation Water Quality Model for Regional Water Quality management

The objective pursued in water quality management is to secure water quality such that marginal cost of the cleaning water equals the accuring marginal benefits. It is the purpose of the paper to show how the methods odf system analysis may be used to plan more economical new pollution control facilities or how to ugrade existing system. The particular problem investigated is the following: Given a region with a number of industries and/or municipalities, where should one build treatment plants and will be necessary levels that total regional cost of wastewater treatment is minimum. To approach these problems, a stream water quality simulation is linked with a treatment cost minimisation model in order to capitalise on the unique advantage of each in managing river basin water quality.
