Based on the characteristics and connection among components of water supply network model,a set of object-oriented classes hierarchy is designed;they syncretize the genetic algorithms together with the whole network class and its components classes as an imaginary class.It is proposed that genetic algorithm can be applied to large-scale water supply network optimum design.Also,an application program is developed including data input and output modules,hydraulic calculation module and genetic algorithm optimization module.A new development zone's network in East China is optimized by the program as a case study;and the network's annualization of expense is reduced.Optimization results show that the program has a good practical effect.
