- Abstract
In this paper, two mathematical models for simulating water pollutant level and pollution control in a connected reservoir system are proposed. The reservoir system is consisted of two ponds connected by a narrow channel. One pond allows water in from a canal through an entrance gate while the other pond lets the water flow out through an exit gate. The pond water is contaminated with wastewater released from several industrial plants located near the pond. One of the proposed models is a steady-state dispersion model simulating the pollutant level in the connected ponds. The other model is a pollution control model that determines the maximum pollutant level allowed in the wastewater released from each plant in order to achieve a specified pollution level in the ponds as well as to incur a minimum water pre-treatment cost to each plant. The simulation results of these models show that the maximum pollutant level in the two ponds could be effectively controlled at a minimum cost to each plant by optimally limiting the pollutant level in the wastewater it releases.
