Abstract

In this paper, the criteria set related to the priority preorders of water resources projects is introduced. A fuzzy multiple criteria group decision-making model is established, which incorporates quantitative analysis, judgments, experience and preferences of decision-makers. The model is used in practice to determine the priority preorders of five water resources projects, and the results show that the best choice can supply more new employment, domestic water and irrigation water, and has better quality.
