Abstract
Quantitative methods for translating public attitudes and conceptions about water quality into criteria that would be useful for evaluating alternative courses of action in planning water quality control projects were investigated with an objective of providing the decision-maker more useful and objective information. This objective was accomplished by developing an assessment structure for quantitatively measuring the impact of water quality, measuring the value of information obtained in the assessment structure, and assessing preferences among alternative actions in planning water quality control projects. Primarily, the emphasis of the research was to identify and quantify the non-monetary factors of water quality which have an impact on the public.
