CARVAJAL SERNA, Luis Fernando. A MODEL FOR WATER AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT USING GREY FUZZY LOGIC FOR ABURRÁ RIVER. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.22, pp.59-74. ISSN 1692-3324.

This paper shows a model of grey fuzzy logic for water and quality management in the Aburrá river (Colombia). Grey fuzzy logic considers the uncertainty of the environmental parameters. This uncertainty produces a lot of conflicts between environmental agencies and polluters of water bodies. The application of this model was done in the Aburrá river, the campaing data includes discharges, dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand. The model takes the tributaries to Aburrá river like polluter points. Also, this model implies an optimization, in accordance with the goals and objectives of both polluters and environmental agencies.The model was developed using Matlab. The general conclusion is that the model has a great potential for water quality management in the river and for achieving the environmental agencies goals.
