Applying Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process to Establish Environmental Sustainability Indicators for Water Resources Srepok River Basin, Vietnam

Abstract

Vietnam is gifted with a dense network of rivers and abundant water resources. However, the gift along with the limited irrigation system of the country seems putting more pressure on the sustainable management of water resources in river basins. In order to develop a framework for assessing environmental sustainability for water resources in the Srepok River basin in Vietnam (VSRB), this study applied the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) since this approach has been powerful and appropriate for sustainability assessment studies. The ten core environmental sustainability indicators were developed based on the current issues existing in the VSRB.
