Managed aquifer recharge in karstic systems:Site suitability mapping by coupling multi-criteria decision analysis with remote sensing and hydrologic modeling

Integrated Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS Model for Assessing Managed Aquifer Recharge Potential in a Hot Dry Region: A Case Study of Djibouti at a Country Scale

“…Despite this fact, only two of the past studies, i.e., Sandoval and Tiburan [27] and Shadmehri Toosi et al [32], provided details of the experts who attended pairwise comparison surveys. From a different aspect, although Kharazi et al [36] and Itani et al [99] used the preferences of local experts for their criteria weight assessment, the researchers presented limited information regarding their fields of expertise. Given the importance of providing transparency and clarity to MCDA attempts, this study further provided the job description, role, and experience in the relevant field of the experts who were incorporated into the decision-making framework.…”

“…Finally, one can also consider performing a sensitivity analysis in order to ensure the stability of the criteria weighting attempts. In this regard, only three of the past studies, i.e., Kazakis [25], Fuentes and Vervoort [53], and Itani et al [99], conducted sensitivity analyses to ensure the stability of MCDA outcomes. At this point, it is especially worth noting that this study is also differentiated from its counterparts as it covers two different types of sensitivity analyses.…”
