Abstract

Lack of available surface water resources and increasing depletion of
groundwater are the major challenges of urban water systems (UWSs) in semi-arid
regions. This paper presents a long term multi-objective optimisation model to
identify optimal water allocation in UWS. The objectives are to maximize reliability
of water supply and minimize total operational costs while restricting the annual
groundwater withdrawal. Pumping water from a dam reservoir and water
recycling schemes are two alternatives for supplying water to increasing water
demands over the planning horizon. The developed approach is demonstrated
through its application to the UWS of Kerman City in Iran. The Pareto-optimal
solutions are obtained as a trade-off between reliability of water supply and operational
costs in the Kerman UWS. The results show that addition of recycled water
to the water resources can provide the least cost-effective and most efficient way
for meeting future water demands in different states of groundwater abstractions.
