In water limited areas as water demand increases alternative sustainable water sources must be identified. One supply augmentation practice, that is already being applied in the arid southwest U.S., is artificial groundwater recharge usingwastewater effluent. The objective of a recharge facility...

An optimal pump operation schedule that maintains satisfactory hydraulics conditions can generally reduce energy consumptions compared to the traditional trial and error based pump operation schedule. Linking an evolutionary based optimization algorithm with a hydraulic simulation model has...
