Defining a receiving environment,-value-contaminant system and determining a specific stressor-response relationship for that system provide valuable decision support strategy to optimize management actions toward a water quality objective. Here, we outline a potential method for using stressor-response relationships to help identify the most appropriate management actions for aquatic ecosystems, using the example of a eutrophic lake.
