Storage Dam's Locality Placing by MCDM Techniques (Case study: Iran's Dams

Making decision by using different criteria is so – called MCDM. MCDM techniques can choose the best alternative among the relevant ones and rank the others. In this research, the best localities for constructing storage dams have been located, by using MCDM techniques. For achieving this goal, the researchers collected relevant information about dam construction situation in Iran and scientific methods of dam construction project ranking in the world, in the first step. After that, by using the most suitable criteria which have been chosen based on experts' opinions, therecommended localities for constructing storage dams were ranked. For ranking dam constructing project, in this research, three MCDM techniques – TOPSIS, AHP and DEMATEL–have been used.
