Abstract: | Water resource systems, with an abundance of project purposes and resource values, are subject to conflicting policy, planning,
and management decisions. Multi-criteria decision making methods (MCDM) provide a framework to help water managers identify
critical issues, attach relative priorities to those issues, select best compromise alternatives, and facilitate communication
to gain general acceptance. This paper addresses a method that incorporates several system factors/components within a general
framework for providing a holistic analysis of the problems and comprehensive evaluation of the related mitigation/adaptation
measures and policy responses. The method accounts for uncertainties in both the quantification and importance of objectives
in the ranking process. The proposed fuzzy multi-criteria decision making process uses the well known Technique for Order
Preference by Similarity of Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method in both deterministic and uncertain environments. The performance
of the proposed approach to a real water resource management problem in Iran is illustrated. Results show that the model may
be used in a large-scale multi-level assessment process. Ranks of the alternatives are presented using deterministic and fuzzy
based models. |
