## Abstract Multicriterion decision making (MCDM) has emerged as an effective methodology due to its ability to combine quantitative and qualitative criteria for selection of the best alternative. Concurrently, fuzzy logic is gaining importance due to its flexibility in handling imprecise subjectiv

โฆ Synopsis
Five Multicriterion Decision Making (MCDM) methods, namely, ELECTRE-2, PROMETHEE-2, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Compromise Programming (CP) and EXPROM-2 are employed to select the best reservoir conยฎguration for the case study of Chaliyar river basin, Kerala, India. Spearman rank correlation coecient is used to assess the correlation between the ranks obtained by the above MCDM methods. Although, these methods follow dierent approaches, the analysis has shown that the same preference strategy is reached by all the methods. Comparative evaluation of MCDM methods revealed that Compromise Programming is best suited for the present case study.
