| Abstract | Although water scarcity is a well-understood concept, it is difficult to define it precisely and furthermore, to address the water scarcity which requires a complicated set of water actions. In this work, with the aim to face the complexity of water scarcity, we propose the establishment of several categories in order to characterize the water scarcity. These categories are guided by the corresponding roadmap so as to address the water scarcity. Consequently, the considered categories are used to characterize the scarcity are non-ordered. The methodology is based on a developed fuzzy multi-criteria filtering approach. The Water Demand Satisfaction, Water Reliability, Management Effectiveness and Water Sustainability, are selected as criteria. Each category is characterized by reference to a fictitious alternative, the prototype. Τhe water scarcity categorization process is based on the fuzzy binary comparison between the water scarcity evaluation of the criteria in the watersheds and the prototype of each category. This binary comparison over all criteria consists of the concordance and non-discordance principle. The use of fuzzy analysis enables us to express the grey region of the monocriterion comparison between the basins and the prototypes and furthermore, to achieve a suitable aggregation of the achieved monocriterion comparison between the basins and the prototypes. Eventually, the use of the veto thresholds and discordance indices of the fuzzy aggregation allowing compensation, are to be avoided when criteria are strongly conflicting, which is a very useful property in classification problems. The described methodology was applied to the Ebro river basin, identifying the existing problems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
