Siting and sizing the components of a regional wastewater system: a multiobjective approach

摘要

This paper describes a multiobjective approach for the siting and sizing of the components of a regional wastewater system. This approach can be particularly helpful for the coherent and harmonious implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Three criteria are considered for finding efficient solutions. A simulated annealing algorithm improved by a local search algorithm is used and the results of three case studies are presented and compared.
