Optimizing Water Management in UrbanEcosystems: A Holistic Model for theSustainable Integration of Drinking Water,Rainwater, and Wastewater Systems
This paper presents a mathematical model for optimizing the allocation of drinking, rain, and recycled water in smart cities. Employing a genetic algorithm across various scenarios, the model achieves a marked improvement in urban water-use efficiency.The findings demonstrate the approach's potential to inform sustainable water-management strategies, thereby advancing environmental conservation and resource sustainability in modern urban environments.
