ENAS 639a - MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS

Description
The purpose of the course is to characterize, define, and solve water resources and environmental engineering problems implementing operation research (OR) methods. Topics include introduction to OR and its role in water resources and environmental systems, economic criteria in water and environmental systems, optimization criteria and optimality conditions, application of linear programming (river contamination), integer programming (solid waste disposal), fixed charge problems (reservoir operation), non-linear programming (optimal water blending), and analytic hierarchy processes (selection of optimal waste treatment and reclamation).
