Multicriteria Decision-Making for Efficient Water and Land Resources Allocation in Irrigated Agriculture |
Author : Dionysis Latinopoulos
Company : Aristotle University |
The irrational use of water in agriculture is often responsible for several problems concerning the depletion and/or the pollution of water resources. In these cases, specific policy measures should be taken to protect water resources from harmful agricultural activities, mitigating at the same time their potential impact on farmers` welfare. To this end, a multicriteria decision-making model is formulated that aims at allocating efficient water and land resources in rural areas of Greece, by optimizing a set of important socio-economic and environmental objectives. |
