Stochastic modelling and optimization for environmental management

In modelling and managing complex environmental systems, inherent uncertainties of all relevant natural processes are to be taken into consideration. In the present paper diverse stochastic modelling and optimization approaches for handling such problems (primarily in the field of water quality analysis and control) are highlighted, drawing on the findings of case studies and real-world applications.
