Article Abstract:
The Tzeng-Wen River basin in Taiwan was subject to multiobjective programming for the management of water quality problems. The objectives included economic and environmental components such as the water quality, the assimilative capacity of the river, and the cost of wastewater treatment. The practical application of the constraint method and the step method has validated these models in the management of water quality problems. This methodology is especially relevant for environmental agencies charged with regulating pollution control methods of contaminated rivers.
