EG7.1 Simplified Multi-Criterion Decision Analysis for the Shiyang River Basin IWRM PLan
This example shows how even a simplified Multi-criterion Decision Analysis (MCDA) can assist in dealing with complicated trade-offs between different groups of water users in a river basin. The great advantage of MCDA is that it is easy to understand and use and does not require economics or other skills. Its main requirements are the necessary exercise of common sense and judgement and the detailed participation of all the major stakeholders in the project. This document covers the following material: • Introduction to the decision making process required for strategic planning • Water use in the Shiyang River Basin • Social setting • Economics of planned interventions • Simplified multi-criterion decision analysis • Recommendations for taking the MCDA forward Further practical guidance on the subject of MCDA is given in a Thematic Paper and Advisory Note in the same series.
