Water management has become a challenging problem worldwide, especially in developing countries, due to several reasons including the growing scarcity of natural water resources; a demographic explosion in many urban settlements, followed by a rapid urbanization and industrialization of...

In order to responsibly manage and direct aid in developing countries, we need methods, processes, and quantitative analytical tools to determine where to invest scarce resources, what are the capabilities gaps, and the effectiveness of certain types of investments in closing the gaps. The...

This paper investigates the accuracy of an approximation procedure for evaluating alternatives under uncertainty with multiple evaluation attributes. This approximation uses only the first two moments of the probability distributions for the alternatives, and hence it can substantially reduce...

A method is presented to estimate the impact of uncertainty on the results of a multiattribute evaluation prior to conducting a complete probabilistic multiattribute utility analysis. The method assumes that a deterministic analysis has been completed using a weighted-additive multiattribute...
