MULTICRITERION ANALYSIS FOR SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES PLANNING : A CASE STUDY IN SPAIN

Case study of Flumen Monegros irrigation with the Multicriterion Decision Making (MCDM). The criteria used consist of economic, environmental and social factors. Alternative policies are formulated by mixing factors such as irrigation system, water pricing, water allocation... Five MCDM techniques are employed to rank the alternatives (with Spearman rank correlation coefficient). Results indicate that five MCDM techniques choose the same alternative strategy as the preferred one.
