Abstract This paper focuses on the urgent issue of minimising the impact of pollutants on aquatic life in river ecosystems. Our innovative approach involves the integration of mathematical modelling and strategic control methods to counteract the negative consequences of industrial and agricultural activities. The model, developed in a one-dimensional context, captures the complex dynamics of species population and pollutant concentration. Using an optimisation framework, we strive to achieve a harmonious balance that limits pollution, enhances species diversity and optimises control expenditure. Ultimately, we seek to harmonise industrial progress with ecological vitality, promoting the sustainability of river ecosystems for generations to come.
