A Geometric Programming Model for Optimal Allocation of Stream Dissolved Oxygen

A nonlinear model is developed for allocating treatment requirements along a stream so as to meet stream dissolved oxygen standards at each point in the stream while minimizing the total annual cost of all discharging activities. An application of the model to several reaches of the Upper Hudson River is considered, and some alternative pollution abatement policies are analyzed.
