Abstract

This study used a multi-criteria analysis to find the optimal material for water pipes in water systems. This paper used FRISCO for calculating the criteria weights and ranking the considered types of pipes. Five different types are considered using 22 criteria. The considered criteria included economic, environmental, and pipe properties. The results showed that the FRISCO method could be used for decision-making in water systems.
