Decision-Making Under Uncertainty

Multi-attribute and robust decision frameworks for water systems facing deep uncertainty.

Real water decisions involve many stakeholders, multiple criteria, and irreducible uncertainty. This theme develops multi-attribute and robust decision-making frameworks that make trade-offs explicit and defensible.

It includes systematic treatments of multi-attribute decision-making methods and frameworks for evaluating water-system design and planning performance under climate change.

  • Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods
  • Robustness and performance evaluation
  • Stakeholder-aware trade-off analysis
