Various performance measures: reliability, resiliency and vulnerability are taken into account. A general methodology for finding a cost-effective water quality management program is developed. The approach employs a new idea of the stochastic branch and bound method, which combines random estimates of the performance for subsets of decisions with iterative refinement of the most promising subsets. publisher: WP-96-066 date: 1996-06 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/4961/1/WP-96-066.pdf identifier: Lence, B.J. & Ruszczynski, A.
