An iterative procedure for sampling in water quality management is presented. The procedure establishes a relationship between cost of sampling and relative uncertainty in total discharge into the water system and at the same time provides an optimal frequency matrix for sampling. The frequency of sampling at each discharge is treated as an independent variable.
