Managing conflicts and equitability in hierarchical decision making for water resources planning under fuzzy uncertainty: A case study of Yellow River, China

Study area: The Yellow River, China Study focus: The Yellow River as the second longest river of China is of vital importance to maintain regional water security. With the influence of climate change and intense human activities, there will be an increasing severe water shortage which would bring ch...
