A multi-objective optimization framework is used to model economic development and environmental quality related to water quality and land-use planning. The economic objectives constitute the cost of point and nonpoint-source pollution abatement and other related land activities. The environmental quality sector includes as noncommensurable objectives: (1) control of soil erosion and sediment; (2) control of phosphorus discharge from point and nonpoint sources; (3) abatement of biological oxygen-demanding material from point sources; (4) enhancement of land-based recreational opportunities; and (5) the maintenance of Surrogate Worth Trade-off (SWT) method. The planning framework was developed for the Maumee River Basin Level B Study. A recommended plan with its presented association trade-off values is presented and the decision maker's role in obtaining a basin-wide plan is discussed. 18 references.
