EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF WATER IN WATER BASINS CHARACTERIZED BY HEAVY MULTI-COMPONENT POLLUTION

Abstract

The questions on evaluating the water quality in water basins characterized by multi-component pollution is considered. Assessments of total pollution formulated on the basis formulae of geometrical averaging are considered in detail. Two optimization tasks on calculation of integrated parameter of multi-component pollution of water basins using geometrical averaging are formulated and solved. In the optimization task, it is shown that the newly suggested parameter of pollution reaches the extreme value upon equity of concentrations of pollutants. In the second optimization task the function of interrelation between two pollutants concentration is introduced and the limitation condition is imposed upon this function. As a result of solving the optimization task, the optimum type of the function is obtained upon which the total pollution would reach the maximum value.
