AB  - The objective of this study is to develop an alternative evaluation index (AEI) 
      in order to determine the priorities of a range of alternatives using both the 
      hydrological simulation program in FORTRAN (HSPF) and multicriteria decision 
      making (MCDM) techniques. In order to formulate the HSPF model, sensitivity 
      analyses of water quantity (peak discharge and total volume) and quality (BOD 
      peak concentrations and total loads) are conducted and a number of critical 
      parameters were selected. To achieve a more precise simulation, the study 
      watershed is divided into four regions for calibration and verification according 
      to landuse, location, slope, and climate data. All evaluation criteria were 
      selected using the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model, a 
      sustainability evaluation concept. The Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to 
      estimate the weights of the criteria and the effects of water quantity and 
      quality were quantified by HSPF simulation. In addition, AEIs that reflected 
      residents' preferences for management objectives are proposed in order to induce 
      the stakeholder to participate in the decision making process.
