Abstract

Water reuse schemes in urban water system are assessed in this paper against a number of hydraulic performance indicators. A city metabolism model, WaterMet2, is used to evaluate the performance of water reuse schemes. A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is employed to identify Pareto optimal solutions for the following three objectives: resilience, reliability and total cost. The demonstration of the suggested approach on a real-world case study show the importance of using the resilience index for determining the appropriate schemes. The results suggest, in the case analysed here, the rainwater-harvesting scheme plays a significant role for improvement of resilience index.
