Abstract: We establish a new method for estimating parameters in reaction-adsorption-diffusion systems modelling the greywater treatment through a horizontal subsurface flow of a constructed wetland. Two cost functions are presented to estimate the permeability coefficients, the initial concentration and the degradation of the phosphor in the considered model. A Lagrangian method is considered to compute the derivative of the cost functions with respect to the state variable. An iterative algorithm is illustrated with the reaction-adsorption-diffusion systems using optimisation techniques and the adjoint state model. We were able to estimate our parameters and our initial data. In addition, the performance of our algorithm is evaluated by perturbing the data with various levels of additive noise.
