AB  - In this paper, a new methodology is proposed for waste load allocation in river 
      systems using the decision support system (DSS) for the graph model for conflict 
      resolution II (GMCRII), multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) analysis and the 
      Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm. Minimization of 
      total treatment and penalty costs and minimization of biological oxygen demand 
      violation of standards at the check point are considered as the main objectives 
      of this study. At first, the water quality along the river was simulated using 
      the Streeter-Phelps (S-P) equation coupled with the MOPSO model. Thereby a 
      trade-off curve between the objectives is obtained and a set of non-dominated 
      solutions is selected. In the next step, the best alternative is chosen using 
      MCDM techniques and the GMCRII DSS package and non-cooperative stability 
      definitions. The applicability and efficiency of the methodology are examined in 
      a real-world case study of the Sefidrud River in the northern part of Iran.
