Effects of Minimum Cost Optimization in Water Distribution Networks on Residual Chlorine and Trihalomethanes Dynamics

Abstract

AbstractWater distribution networks (WDNs) are designed under parameters and restrictions that guarantee compliance with hydraulic and water quality conditions in the system. The optimized design of WDNs ensures a lower cost for the network, maintaining ...Practical ApplicationsThe design of future water distribution networks (WDNs) following the minimum cost optimization will also minimize chlorine concentration at the potable water treatment plant and limit trihalomethane growth in the distribution ...
