A multi-objective approach with soft constraints for water supply and wastewater coverage improvements
A multi-objective approach for water supply and wastewater coverage improvements. Optimization model that formulates strategies to minimize time and costs incurred. Uses hard and soft constraints, assembled to deal with key sustainability concepts. Uses a mixed integer-linear programming optimizer that resorts to branch-and-bound. Paves the way forward in improving the access to water and wastewater services.
