Optimal Allocation of Water Among Industries in Dar Es Salaam City, Tanzania
Dar es Salaam is the city with largest number of industries in Tanzania. However, the water demand for the industries is more than the supply. Therefor, there is a water use competing problem among the industries. Dynamic programming technique has been applied to optimally allocate the available water among industries with the objective of maximizing the net benefits. The results reveal that industries with the highest net return per unit of water use was given the first priority of being allocated water. However, for political reasons that every industry has to be allocated water then the obtained solution was not optimal, that is the maximum net benefits was not achieved.
