Abstract
The discipline of Operational Research (OR) is primarily concerned with improving the effectiveness and efficiency of decision processes. These processes take place everywhere in society: industry, banking, agriculture, government, politics. Frequent use of mathematical optimization models is typical of OR. Since the early '80s these models are increasingly packaged in a “user-friendly” way, as “Decision Support Systems”. In the following we will illustrate how OR can be used to describe and solve a number of environmental problems. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1992
