2.6 Theoretical Results: Existence, Uniqueness
and Formulation of Discharge Parameters
2.6.1 First Stage: Discharge Points and Basic Form
of Discharge Rates of Nutrient
In order to find the optimal discharge points r i in D , and the basic shape of discharge
rates Q i (
t
)
at these points, we consider here the variational problem ( 2.27 )-( 2.29 )
for N
0. That is we consider in the first stage of the strategy
just a local problem of remediation in which the critical concentration c 1 is reached
exactly. Thus, taking into account the corresponding adjoint function g 1 (

for the

The set of points where condition ( 2.53 ) holds is called support of function P [ 11 ].
Note that condition ( 2.53 ) is necessary to satisfy constraint ( 2.51 ) and that such
condition is fulfilled for any point r 1 in the polluted zone
ʩ 1 . Moreover, condition
( 2.53 ) is also satisfied for points that are outside
ʩ 1 but fairly close to this area;
such points are adjacent to
ʩ 1 and are located on the streamlines coming into the
zone. The size of such set of points depends on how large is the parameter T and the
velocity of the flow
U
