“…A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4 (2011) by considering the feed location and flow rate, and later gave the optimal and economical purification performance (Yang et al, 2014b).Recently, related works on simultaneous fresh water minimization and production maximization (Chaturvedi and Bandyopadhyay, 2014) in batch process, fixed-flowrate total water under uncertainty with risk management (Khor et al, 2014), water network designwith minimum storage capacity (Lee et al, 2014), network macroscopic water networks optimization under parametric uncertainty (Nápoles-Rivera et al, 2015) and industrial city reuse water networks with treatment systems (Alnouri et al, 2015) are reported to conserve large scale water use.…”
