A framework for water loss management in developing countries under fuzzy environment: Integration of Fuzzy AHP with Fuzzy TOPSIS

作者:

Highlights:

• A multi-criteria decision analysis method for water loss management is proposed.

• The method integrates AHP and TOPSIS methods under fuzzy environment.

• It is applied to a real water distribution system in a developing country.

• The prevalent strategies were highly connected to the local conditions.
