Scenario Analysis Method for Optimizing the Water Use Structure Management and the River Basins Rehabilitation

A method of scenario analysis is proposed to provide the choice of the optimal management system for cost-effective water use and ecological rehabilitation of rivers. Scenario analysis is carried out on the basis of simulation and optimization modeling. The operational management options are simulated and optimized according to Pareto using environmental and economic criteria. The scenario analysis method was used to select the optimal control system for flushing the Ingulets River. The effectiveness of the optimal option is confirmed by comparing the results of scenario analysis with the existing flushing method in 2019 year for indicators of water consumption and environmental criteria for water quality.
