“…Decision-makers specify the probabilities with which constraints are satisfied individually [74,75,108,110,135,171,172,203,234] or jointly [72,73,119,137,228,231,244]. Closely related to this approach, Dong et al [44] propose a stochastic programming model with two objectives: maximising system benefits and maximising the probability that the constraints are satisfied. For cases in which the constraint coefficients are expressed as fuzzy numbers, this concept is adapted by the introduction of a credibility measure.…”

Economic development, variation in weather patterns and natural disasters focus attention on the management of water resources. This paper reviews the literature on the development of mathematical programming models for water resource management under uncertainty between 2010 and 2017. A systematic search of the academic literature identified 448 journal articles on water resource management for examination. Bibliometric analysis is employed to investigate the methods that researchers are currently using to address this problem and to identify recent trends in research in the area. The research reveals that stochastic dynamic programming and multistage stochastic programming are the methods most commonly applied. Water resource allocation, climate change, water quality and agricultural irrigation are amongst the most frequently discussed topics in the literature. A more detailed examination of the literature on each of these topics is included. The findings suggest that there is a need for mathematical programming models of large-scale water systems that deal with uncertainty and multiobjectives in an effective and computationally efficient way.

In recent years, life quality of the urban areas is a growing interest of civil engineering. Environmental quality is essential to display the position of sustainable development and asserts the corresponding countermeasures to the protection of environment. Urban environmental quality involves multidisciplinary parameters and difficulties to be analyzed. e problem is not only complex but also involves many uncertainties, and decision-making on these issues is a challenging problem which contains many parameters and alternatives inherently. Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a very prepotent technique to solve that sort of problems, and it guides the users confidence by synthesizing that information. Environmental concerns frequently contain spatial information. Spatial multicriteria decision analysis (SMCDA) that includes Geographic Information System (GIS) is efficient to tackle that type of problems. is study has employed some geographic and urbanization parameters to assess the environmental urbanization quality used by those methods. e study area has been described in five categories: very favorable, favorable, moderate, unfavorable, and very unfavorable. e results are momentous to see the current situation, and they could help to mitigate the related concerns. e study proves that the SMCDA descriptions match the environmental quality perception in the city.

“…According to Ferguson et al (2013), water systems in cities around the world are facing environmental and societal pressures such as water scarcity, decaying waterways, floods, changing demographics, and an infrastructure that is aging. Dong et al (2016) emphasize that rapid urbanization and population growth have resulted in a serious global shortage of water and in the environment deteriorating. The scarcity of fresh water is related to several factors and has become a major concern in various parts of the world.…”

The world is facing a growing water scarcity problem in the most diverse regions. The Rio Grande do Norte (RN), a Brazilian semi-arid region, is facing its severest drought in the last 100 years. Given this context, managing water resources and combating the effects of the drought have become even more important. Decisions made in this context may involve multiple criteria established by more than one decision-maker. To tackle this issue, a multicriteria model for group decisions is proposed in order to rank the municipalities of the region and thus guide the public administration's efforts in tackling the drought and mitigating its effects. The applicability of the model is exemplified by studying the Apodi-Mossoró river basin, for which the PROMETHEE GDSS method was selected and the preferences of three decision-makers were calculated.
