Abstract
Multiple-criterion screening of environmental decision strategies in the framework of decision support system for water quality improvement is described. Screening technology is based on integration of diverse knowledge and information on water quality processes and on application of the Feasible Goals Method for exploration of the integrated model. The Feasible Goals Method provides graphic display of aggregated decision information that informs decision makers on efficient tradeoffs among screening criteria and helps to select preferable decision alternatives by identification of feasible goals directly on display. The DSS was developed on request of Russian Ministry of Natural Resources in the framework of the Federal program “Revival of the Volga River”.
