This book provides a systematic way of how to make better decisions in water resources
management. The applications of three weighting methods namely rating ranking and ratio are
discussed in this book. Additionally data mining on keywords is presented using three popular
scholarly databases: Science Direct Scopus and SciVerse. Four abbreviated keywords (MCDM
MCDA MCA MADM) representing multi-criteria decision-making were used and these three
databases were searched for different popular weighting methods for a period of 13 years
(2000-2012). The book provides also a review of weighting methods applied in various
multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and also presents survey results on priority
ranking of watershed management criteria undertaken by 30 undergraduate and postgraduate
students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
