Multi-Objective Optimal Allocation for Regional Water Resources Based On Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm
Quan Gan, Fuchun Zhang, Ze-Yin Zhang · International Journal of Smart Home · 2015
The extremely imbalance of water resources distribution all over the world has brough the water shortage problem to many countries and regions, especially in developing countries such as China. In his paper, we study on the problem of water resources allocation, with the objective to produce more benefits in economic, ecological and social aspects. Specifically, we formulate the water resources allocation as a multi-objective optimization problem, and propose to employ Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based algorithm as a solution. We also use the water resources dataset of Beijing city to evaluate the effectivity of our method.
