A nonlinear programing model for water quality management is developed and applied to the case of the upper Hudson River. The model is formulated as a geometric programing problem. It is shown that this formulation permits the simultaneous consideration of waste treatment processes, bypass piping, flow regulation, and artificial aeration in determining a least‐cost solution to a given water quality management problem.
