Abstract

The efficient design of water adduction main involves several optimization processes among which an important place is held by their path optimization. In this paper are developed two deterministic mathematical models for optimization of water adduction main path, based on techniques of sequential operational calculus, implemented in a computer program. Using these optimization models could be obtained an optimal solution for selection of source location and of water adduction main path based on graph theory and dynamic programming. Numerical examples will be presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed optimization models. These show a good performance of the new models.
