Wastewater systems are very important environmental systems. They should be carefully planned and managed to contribute to a more sustainable development. Decision models are very useful tools that can contribute to defining the best solutions for these purposes. In this chapter an overview about the planning and management of wastewater systems and presentation of different decision models is given. Solutions methods are discussed and the results that can be obtained with such models are commented on. The vulnerability of such systems is reflected and new approaches are proposed to tackle them.

Many real world problems are characterized by multiple goals, often conflicting in nature and compete with one another. Multi-objective optimization problems (MOOPs) require the simultaneous optimization of several non-commensurable and conflicting objectives. In the past, several studies have used conventional approaches to solve the MOOPs by adopting weighted approach or constrained approach, which may face difficulties while generating Pareto optimal solutions, if optimal solution lies on non-convex or disconnected regions of the objective function space. An effective algorithm should have an ability to learn from earlier performance to direct proper selection of weights for further evolutions. To achieve these goals, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have become effective means in recent past, which can generate a population of solutions in each iteration and offer a set of alternatives in a single run. This chapter presents an effective MOEA, namely multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) for problems of solving water, environmental systems.
