Optimizing water resource management in tropical drought-prone regions through hybrid MCDM techniques: A water-stress mapping approach by Suman Mukherjee, Suman Paul, Subhasis Bhattacharya, Aznarul Islam, Sadik Mahammad, Edris Alam

“…New hydrological insights: Thirty-three indicators-based thematic layers under topographical, hydrological, environmental, hydro-meteorological, and socio-demographic dimensions with integrated CRITIC (quantitative), DEMATEL (qualitative), VIKOR and TOPSIS produced four relative water-stress maps of the study region. The DEMATEL-TOPSIS model was found to be the best-fit method as it produced better accuracy compared to the other models (CRITIC-TOPSIS, CRITIC-VIKOR, and DEMATEL-VIKOR) with AUC of 0.835 and accuracy of 0.881. …”
