Abstract: Abstract Water and environmental management problems usually face conflicts among the stakeholders because of limited resources and different preferences. These problems become more complicated when stakeholders have conflicting criteria. In such cases we should find appropriate trade-offs between them. When criteria are in conflict, then any improvement in one criterion can be achieved in the expense of worsening the condition of others. For example, protecting natural resources is in conflict with the economic benefits of their utilization. If we would allocate the limited water resources just for the domestic or for the industrial usages, then it would threaten the sustainability of the environment.
