Abstract

Drinking WDNs are one of the most significant infrastructures of the sustainable society. It will suffer damage during the operation, occurrences of inevitable disasters, terrorist attacks or war. Therefore, in this research, an improved strategy management approach for passive defense is presented that is called the Integrated Prioritization SWOT QSPM or IPSQ method. The clustering of the weights of affecting factors is determined using the ELECTRE TRI model, based on specific criteria. These weights are allocated according to the user's personal preferences, previously. The performance of proposed method was investigated. The necessary information was gathered and, a hydraulic analysis was conducted using WaterGEMS. The SWOT matrix is performed and top strategies shaped. Next, the priorities were illustrated using QSPM analysis. The results showed IPSQ method successfully headed us to planning priorities with least user interference and prevent possible mistakes. Clustering and prioritization processors can be linked to strategy management techniques simply and usefully. Outputs of hydraulic analysis are exceedingly useful to make best decisions for WDN. Government financial support for the implementation of online security and monitoring facilities (WO1 with STAS = 4.61), is known as the first priority of strategy for passive defense of the studied WDN.
