Integrated Use of a Continuous Simulation Model and Multi-Attribute Decision-Making for Ranking Urban Watershed Management Alternatives

摘要: The objective of this paper is to introduce a continuous simulation-based screening procedure for ranking urban watershed management alternatives using multi-attribute decision making (MADM). integrates runoff simulation results from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) with use an alternative evaluation index (AEI) and MADM techniques, following driver-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) approach. analytic hierarchy process estimates weights criteria, SWMM are used quantify effects on water quantity quality metrics. In addition, tendency AEI reflect resident preferences toward objectives incorporated include stakeholder participation in decision-making process. This systematic support demonstrated Korean watershed. According AEI, seven were divided into three groups: poor (0∼0.3), acceptable (0.3∼0.6), good (0.6∼1). multiple techniques provided consistency check. demonstration illustrates ability approach provide makers suitable which incorporate feedback.
