A community of 300 residents (water use per person = 130 gpd) is looking at using two sources for water supply: 1. Nearby lake, 2. Local well- aquifer system. The cost functions are as follows (C₁ and C₂ represent costs are in arbitrary monetary units and V is the volume of water pumped per day, in gallons): Cost Functions: System 1: Lake C₁ = 410 + V 22000 System 2: Well-Aquifer V² 77x106 C₂: = V 3700 +40 System efficiency parameter (n = Volume pumped Volume delivered The two systems have distinct water conveyance system characteristics. accounts for pipe leak- age and related losses. Given 71 = 0.84 772 = 0.92 In all computations, the goal is to minimize total cost. (a) Compute the optimal system configuration (that is, how much wa- ter is withdrawn from each source) to meet the community water needs. (b) A population projection for the year 2025 puts the population of this community at 400. Compute the system configuration to meet the pro- jected demand. (c) Through a conversation and reuse program, the community is able to lower its current per capita water use to 100 gpd. Recompute the system configuration.
