Multi-objective optimization of rural water supply system
Lack of water in water supply systems forces people to take risk behaviors to health, which is very common in rural water supply systems (WSS-rural). The objective of this research was to develop and apply a multi-objective optimization model for WSS-rural in the county of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso State,...

| Summary: | Lack of water in water supply systems forces people to take risk behaviors to health, which is very common in rural water supply systems (WSS-rural). The objective of this research was to develop and apply a multi-objective optimization model for WSS-rural in the county of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The research methodology consisted of: (1) formulation of the optimization model (OM); (2) application of OM; (3) analysis of results; and (4) computer implementation of OM. To solve the problem, it was proposed and used a load loss generator part. It was found that the problem of water shortage can be solved by small operational and structural modifications. It was developed a multi-objective OM for WSS-rural based on Multi-objective Nonlinear Integer Programming technique (MONLIP) implemented in OpenOffice.org environment. The developed OM was applied to a real case with satisfactory results. |
