Abstract
An integrative approach for wastewater treatment and reuse projects is exemplified. The approach is based on management modeling for optimal wastewater treatment, disposal and reuse. Management modeling takes into account regional and national aspects. These considerations include treatment levels and control, water supply and demand, transportation and storage requirements, technical capabilities and social issues. Attention is also given to environmental pollution and health risks aspects and purpose of wastewater application. The model is based on defining an objective (cost) function to be optimized. The optimum of the objective function is evaluated subject to a series of technological, social, health and environmental constraints. The results provide information regarding the system layout and related optimal investment and operational expenses.
