Multiple-Objective Stochastic Waste-Load Allocation
Abstract
The practice of waste-load allocation in water quality management involves several noncommensurate
and conflicting objectives. In particular, the objectives considered in this multiobjective
stochastic waste-load allocation study are (1) maximization of total waste discharge, (2) maximization
of instream dissolved oxygen concentration, (3) minimization of difference in equity measures, and
(4) maximization of reliability of water quality compliance. To demonstrate the analysis, the model
was applied to an example involving six waste dischargers.
Keywords. Waste-load allocation, water-quality management, multiple-objective analysis, optimization,
uncertainty analysis.
