    Abstract

    Choice of optimum desalination technology is posited as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. Formulation considers technical, economic, environmental and social criteria. MCDM is an effective tool for selecting the best practice technology. Seawater reverse osmosis was found to consistently outperform thermal desalination technologies.
