The role of weights in multi-criteria decision aid, and the ranking of water projects in Jordan

Article Abstract:

The Judgemental Analysis System method was utilized as a multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) for the ranking of water sector objectives in Jordan. The MCDA method for the ranking of water projects in Jordan involved a comprehensive survey of possible options that reflect the values developed in a brainstorming workshop. The resulting options from the structured group brainstorming workshop were also ranked according technical, regional, managerial and regulatory categories.

Model choice in multicriteria decision aid

Article Abstract:

A series of model selection paradigms for water resource problems was analyzed based on the Multi Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA) technique. Selection of a suitable technique for water resource problems during the application of three algorithms indicated the efficiency of the PROMETHEE in ranking development projects. Furthermore, techniques used for solving water problems can also be applied to handle MCDA algorithms for varied multicriteria problems.
