“…Metrics within life cycle cost assessment, triple bottom line, and other assessment frameworks may vastly vary by facility or location due to heterogeneous climatic, hydrologic, and other physical and social factors. Moreover, optimal (or least‐cost) solutions for a component of the system may not be optimal at the watershed level (Arabi, Govindaraju, & Hantush, 2006; Hodgson et al., 2020; Lammers et al., 2020; Osmond, Shober, Sharpley, Duncan, & Hoag, 2019). To ensure integration on a watershed scale, a set of consistent sustainability indicators or metrics may be considered, including, but not limited to, minimization of nutrient loads and costs, maximization of the likelihood of adoption, equity to all groups, reliability in meeting water quality targets, and resiliency to changes in driving forces and pressures.…”
