The management of non point source water pollution in urban areas characteristically involves processes that are difficult to quantify or measure precisely. Two such aspects include the use of publics in plan formulation and monitoring as well as the assessment of the effectiveness (both system and cost effectiveness) of control strategies. We describe the results of our years of studies in which fuzzy set theory and hierarchical modeling provided a useful scientific tool for the evaluation of the effectiveness of these two concerns. fuzzy sets were used in both data generation and analysis. This framework also provided a richer interpretation of our measures of . effectiveness than otherwise possible . The data employed in the studies came principally from urban areas around Georgia and several experimental stations provided by the USGS and EPA in the United States.
