Computer aided decision support system for water strategic planning in Jordan

The Nominal Group Technique and a multi-criteria decision aid software are utilised to develop a decision support system for strategic planning of water resources in Jordan. The system described is novel in that it integrates the various decision analytical management techniques in order to increase the flexibility and efficiency of the decision making process.
