Abstract:Water supplies in some countries are a severe problem. Where this is so, legislation to reduce fresh water consumption has been strengthened over the years. The purpose of water allocation network ( WAN) synthesis is to reduce freshwater consumption and wastewater discharge, while maintaining network reliability, safety and maintenance cost. The structure of WAN has a significant impact on reliability issues. In this paper reliability analysis is integrated into the WAN synthesis problem. In order to obtain a WAN that is reliable and consumes the minimum freshwater, an example presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method demonstrates the method is effective.
