| Abstract | A chance constrained linear programming model with the objective Of minimizing the Operating costs has been developed for a regional water quality management system . A zero order decision rule is used to find deterministic equivalents for chance constraints which converts the chance-constrained programming model into straight forward linear programming model which can be solved by the available algorithm. Thus, chance constrained programming is desirable for problems involving stochastic quantities. The zero order decision rule to a chance constrained linear programming model is also highly desirable since the model can be changed into simple linear programming model. The utility of the model to determine the monthly Optimal solu- tions and to minimize the Operating costs with the use of the stochas- tic nature of the streamflow in a river has also been shown. The reliability parameter in the chance constrained model provides a trade off between a desired water quality and the degree of satisfaction for a given annual Operating budget. Finally a number of extensions of the original model have been developed. |
