Before delving deeper into the application of optimization to the SEQ water grid it is important to understand
the basis of optimization and the types of problems that this technology is being applied to currently. Optimization
techniques have been used by scientists extensively in the past sixty years. Originally designed for military logistics,
these techniques have spread widely into other areas of business including project planning, engineering design,
transportation logistics, and financial analysis. Due to the advances in computational power and development in
optimization algorithm, many industries have adopted this technology and implemented them in their decision making
processes.
Network optimization problems are undoubtedly the most common type of optimization problems. This type of
optimization is applicable to a wide range of industries which seek to determine aspects such as:
• Shortest path to solve distribution problems
• Transport scheduling
• Minimize travel time
Due to increasing demand to solve these types of problems there has been much focus in research to invent new
techniques one of which is the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP).
Mathematical programming, such as MILP has became one of the most widely explored methods for solving
network problems mainly due to its rigorousness, flexibility and extensive modeling capability. MILP is well studied
and considered to be an efficient algorithm able to be applied to many commercial applications.
Network optimization has more commonly been applied in the electricity industry. Specifically, in electricity
distribution, the lack of storage in the system and high losses associated with power distribution has seen them as
early adopters of optimization technology. Water distribution networks are not so dissimilar and certainly with the
augmentation of the water grid, resulting in cross regional integration there is a need to have a better understanding of
these assets and how they interrelate with the objective of reducing cost while maintaining water security
