Solving water quality management problem through combined genetic algorithm and fuzzy simulation by Xu, T. Y., Qin, Xiaosheng

“…The major advantage of GAFSA is that it could tackle generally-shaped fuzzy membership functions on both sides of the model constraints, rather than handle single special forms like triangular or trapezoidal. An agricultural water quality management problem that has been investigated by a number of previous studies was used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. …”
