Application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process Optimization Algorithm in Best Management Practice Selection
… a BMP should be fundamental to the BMP selection process. However, as evidenced by the absence of removal efficiency as an influential criterion in many BMP selection procedures, it is typically not at the forefront of the BMP selection and design process. Additionally, of particular interest to …
