| Sumario: | [EN] Economic development often involves the need for additional water resources to carry out the new industrial or agricultural activities, or to supply the domestic, tourist and leisure activities demand. Moreover, this development usually leads to increased in population, which further increases the demand for water. In many places with arid or semiarid climate, this water scarcity leads to decreased water quality, even in areas with rainfall, the accumulation of demand in time and in space causes deficits, and produces social impact about the destination of available resources and damages to the environment. The reclaimed wastewaters are an unconventional source of water that has developed in recent decades. However, in order to reuse this resource, very important because of the quantity and the availability, appropriate technologies are required, specially an efficient disinfection system. This doctoral thesis presents an application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by integrating a Delphi process and combined with the VIKOR technique for selecting the best disinfection technology for treated wastewater reuse projects. The proposed methodology provides project managers a tool to evaluate problems with multiple criteria and multiple alternatives which involve non-commeasurable decision criteria, with expert opinions play playing a major role in the selection of these treatment alternatives. The alternatives have been evaluated for each of the criteria weighted according to the opinions of the experts consulted. Finally, the VIKOR method has been applied to determine a compromise solution, and to establish the stability of the results. Therefore, the expert system proposed to select the optimal disinfection alternative is a hybrid method combining the AHP with the Delphi method and the VIKOR technique, which is shown to be appropriate in realistic scenarios where multiple stakeholders are involved in the selection of a sustainable disinfection technique for wastewater reuse projects. |
