Title
A multi-objective approach with soft constraints for water supply and wastewater coverage improvements.
Abstract
•A multi-objective approach for water supply and wastewater coverage improvements.•Optimization model that formulates strategies to minimize time and costs incurred.•Uses hard and soft constraints, assembled to deal with key sustainability concepts.•Uses a mixed integer-linear programming optimizer that resorts to branch-and-bound.•Paves the way forward in improving the access to water and wastewater services.
