Abstract

Iran Currently uneven distribution of limited water resources in addition to growing urban and irrigation water demands have severely increased water shortages in Iran. INTER-BASIN WATER TRANSFER projects are among important infrastructures used by water managers and planners to supply for the needed water. However due to the complex technical, socioeconomical, and environmental aspects of these projects, in every stage of the decision making process, group multi-criteria should be considered. In this article four proposed routes of water transfers from the Aras River to the Northeastern part of the Urmia Lake in Iran are evaluated. The effective criteria including environmental impacts, cost of construction, simplicity of the construction, and the social acceptance are weighted by three stakeholders. Using the ordered weighted averaging and fuzzy quantifiers the group weights are obtained. Then using the four multi-criteria decision making methods (simple weighted averaging, TOPSIS, COMPROMISE PROGRAMMING, and ORDERED WEIGHTED AVERAGING METHODS), the different alternatives are ranked and finally the best and the most robust water transfer route is selected. Results showed that the simple additive weighting and ORDERED WEIGHTED AVERAGING METHODS are more useful methods for group multicriteria decision making on water resources development infrastructures.
