investment methods in sustainable water resource management using saw method
Authors
abstract
water crisis resource management originates from limited resources has made it essential to study the prioritization of traditional and modern methods of sustainable water resource management. the objective of such studies is to provide a list of prioritized traditional and modern methods of sustainable water resource management. this research aims to study rainwater harvesting method and qanat as two traditional methods of water production and transfer. cisterns (ab anbars) and the water consumption patterns in persian gardens are considered as two traditional and sustainable methods of water storage and consumption. the modern methods have been extracted from the tennessee standard. from the existing methods, using ground slope for water transfer, adjusting water pressure based on consumption rate, qanat, cistern, rainwater harvesting system, drip irrigation system, green roof, sustainable vegetative cover, water absorbing pavement, and rainwater collection system on the roof have been selected and the investment options are listed for updating and implementation purposes. the rate of energy consumption, lifetime of facilities, stationary of the method, costs of production and transfer, observing regional management pattern, use of local materials and professionals, and health issues are the criteria applied for the prioritization of the items based on delphi method. the prioritization was carried out by saw (simple additive weighting method). according to the results, slope of the ground was the first priority of these items, and rainwater collecting system on the roof, the last priority.

Sustainable water resource management under hydrological uncertainty
[1] A proper understanding of the sources and effects of uncertainty is needed to achieve the goals of reliability and sustainability in water resource management and planning. Many studies have focused on uncertainties relating to climate inputs (e.g., precipitation and temperature), as well as those related to supply and demand relationships. In the end-to-end projection of the hydrological i...

To strive to full self-sufficiency in water, Singapore has invested heavily in desalination, wastewater reclamation (branded as NEWater), water catchment management and other similar projects. Among the many alternatives to augment Singapore’s water supply, decision-makers need to know which one is the most sustainable plan to pursue. This research project aims to demonstrate the usefulness of ...

full textSystems Thinking for Sustainable Resource Management in Environmental Management Education
The sustainability challenge includes a need for new resources. Therefore it is important to show added resource values in sustainability assessments. At the university in Dalarna we use this view, and problem based learning on industrial projects, in environmental management courses. The experiences from those courses, and modelling at Chalmers, indicate how systems thinking can foster a conce...
