Sustainable Water Harvesting and Conservation Using Multiple‐Criteria Analysis
This chapter describes how key multi‐criteria concepts are organized. It provides information on the phases involved in modeling and analyzing multi‐criteria water harvesting and conservation challenges. The chapter discusses a wide number of multiple‐criteria analysis (MCA) methods in the context of water harvesting and conservation projects. It summarizes over a dozen MCA methods for water harvesting and conservation. The chapter also outlines the distinction between discrete and continuous MCA. It discusses the increasing need for water harvesting MCA in the context of global climate change: it is shown that MCA constitutes an ideal set of tools for handling complex water resources bargaining and negotiations and to promote integrated socio‐ecological decision‐making and resilience. The chapter concludes that MCA helps water harvesting stakeholders to think about their values, and assists them in quantifying those priorities and applying them to the water harvesting and conservation challenge at hand.
