Abstract

The optimal dischargeable waste load allocation to the pollutants is important for improving the quality of rivers. The purpose of this paper is applying some bankruptcy rules, one of the Game theory methods, to allocate the waste load to pollutants and reach the standard dissolved oxygen in Zarjub River, Gilan. Based on the proposed framework, a combination of QUAL2Kw model, particle swarm optimization algorithm and bankruptcy rules are used in this research. In this paper, particle swarm optimization algorithm has been used to optimize point and non-point sources discharged contaminants of river adjacent in QUAL2Kw under bankruptcy rules. The conclusion indicates the efficient application of the bankruptcy approach on reaching the optimal level of oxygen at downstream. According to the research results, CEA and TAL methods discharge less waste load to the river. Also, based on the results some methods are appropriate for high pollutant industries and some methods are acceptable for low pollution industries.
