Three criteria are established for the evaluation of the utility of multiobjective programing techniques for water resource planning. The criteria are computational efficiency, explicitness of trade offs among objectives, and the amount of information generated for decision making. The multiobjective approaches are classified into generating techniques, techniques which rely on the prior articulation of preferences, and techniques which foster iterative definition of preferences. The methods in the various classes are reviewed and evaluated in terms of the hypothesized criteria. The evaluations are then used in establishing conclusions about the applicability of the multiobjective approaches to water resource problems.
