Development of planning and management model for reuse and optimal allocation of municipal effluent
Urbanization growth, increasing population and water demand, especially the increasing demand for drinking water in Iranian cities, particularly metropolises, have created a great challenge for water resources management in the country. Optimal use of effluent in urban water management prevents the inter-basin water transfer plans from being tolerated and consequently reduces heavy costs and reduces negative social consequences. In this paper, an extended model for planning, management and optimal allocation of municipal effluent by mapping the network flow and applying optimization methods is introduced. The objectives of this model are to minimize the total cost of the system by considering the technical, economic and environmental constraints as well as minimizing the use of existing raw water. By solving an application problem, the model's performance is verified and its validation is achieved by using MATLAB optimization software. This model can facilitate the policy making and decision making of managers in the licensing of municipal effluent allocation.
