A scenario-based MCDA framework for wastewater infrastructure planning under uncertainty.
Comparing multi-criteria decision analysis and integrated assessment to support long-term water supply planning
TLDR
It is found that the MAVT-type models provide higher distinguishability and a more robust basis for discussion than the IA- type models, however, the needed complexity of the model should be determined based on the intended use of themodel within the decision support process.
Integrating uncertainty of preferences and predictions in decision models: An application to regional wastewater planning.
A mixed-methods approach to strategic planning for multi-benefit regional water infrastructure.
A Flexible Approach for the Reinforcement of Water Networks Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis
TLDR
A phased planning horizon scheme is proposed that considers various possible future demands that the network might have to cope with during its lifespan and the value of MCDA lies in the insightful information that it provides for decision makers.

The Decision Analysis Interview Approach in the Collaborative Management of a Large Regulated Water Course
TLDR
Interactive multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) was applied in a collaborative process which aimed at an ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable water course regulation policy and helped to develop a consensus solution in a case having strong conflicts of interest.

Enhancing Strategy Evaluation in Scenario Planning: a Role for Decision Analysis
TLDR
This paper demonstrates how decision analysis can be used to structure the strategy evaluation process in a way which avoids the problems associated with earlier proposals and leads to a clear and documented rationale for the selection of a particular strategy.
