Determining the chlorine kinetic behavior in surface water using evolutionary metaheuristic algorithms

Abstract

Organization of Iran, drinking water is water that has physical, chemical, and biological properties to such an extent that its consumption for drinking in the short and long term does not cause human health [2]. In water treatment plants, depending on the type of source and its quality, different treatment units can be used. But the disinfection unit in all water treatment plants must be used to ensure microbial health. Currently, the use of chlorine for disinfection is the most common disinfection method in Iran due to its cheapness and antimicrobial power,
