Two outfalls in an estuary: Cooperative pollution minimization

The lowest achievable concentration peak (in position and time) for the principal contaminant species is attained with an ‘all or nothing’ discharging policy. The discharge rate is either ‘all’ that is allowed by concentration peak or is nothing. The ‘nothing’ regime cor...
