Multiple-Objective Stochastic Waste Load Allocation
Abstract
The practice of waste load allocation in water quality
management involves a number of noncommensurate and conflicting
objectives. In particular, the objectives considered in this
multiobjective stochastic waste load allocation study were (1) the
maximization of total waste discharge, (2) the maximization of
instream dissolved oxygen concentration, (3) the minimization of
difference in equity measures, and (4) the maximization of
reliability of water quality compliance. The model was illustrated
through a hypothetical example involving six waste dischargers.
