Abstract: A multiobjective optimization analysis is designed to search for an integrative management strategy in the Guadalupe River Basin system in Central Texas. The optimal release policy from a one-reservoir system is proved helpful for decision makers to fully grasp the key points of the sea land interaction mechanisms between river infrastructure, morphdynamics, environmental quality, and ecosystem functioning. The strategy gained here would enable us to not only maximize the biological productivity of the bay and income from hydroelectric generation but also maintain river populations of trout in the downstream area at the same time.
