How to use ELECTRE to solve water and energy management problems ?

ELECTRE is ​widely used to ​solve problems ​from water and ​energy ​management.This ​tutorial shows ​how to work ​with ELECTRE ​method such ​that the ​readers can use ​this method to ​solve water ​related ​decision making ​problems. ​ELECTRE  ​is an ​outranking ​method where ​options ​outranked each ​other and the ​best option ​remains.Here ​both concordance ​and discordance ​index was used ​to find the ​outranking ​criteria. ​

For application ​of ELECTRE in ​Water Resource ​Management you ​may refer to ​the following ​publications : ​

Probable Journals where you can publish :

3)Energy Policy,Elsevier
4)Water Resources,Elsevier
and you can also consider my journal Water and Informatics or Energy and Informatics to publish your papers on application of ELECTRE on water or energy management problems.

Geomantics IV

About Geomantics : "Your a GIS professional, not a professional 3D artist, but you want to create great landscape visuals for your clients. Or you're a teacher trying to enthuse and educate your students about maps and landscapes. Or your a local historian who wants to see how you locality looked 5,000 years ago. What do you use? GenesisIV. It's landscape software written by professionals for people who've got other things to do than be professional artists. And you won't need a professional budget, because GenesisIV is now free." A nice software to convert your 2d maps to 3d.And above all its FREE

150 hydrology software manuals

Hydrologic Software from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are very popular among all the scientists and scholars researching in the field of hydrology modeling.Many new software were also developed based on these Hydrology Engineering Center(HEC) made software models.Surface Water Modeling system provides graphical interfaces to HEC1,HECHMS and HECRAS models. MIKE-SHE also use the basic software framework of HEC to develop their own sophisticated software.In most of the courses regarding hydrology modeling these software were invariably taught due to their wide acceptance through out the world. As usual most of these software are not very easy to learn.You will need either a thorough manual describe the step by step procedure to solve prediction problems or an expert instructor to learn the simulation tools in detail.That is why HydroWeb has compiled a DVD featuring the detail manuals of all the software produced by HEC. The DVD contains 150...
