Dam site selection is an important task in water resource management and it depends on a number of biophysical as well as socio-economic factors. Dam site selection is becoming important research area due to the increase of water scarcity and also to prevent flood in certain area. This paper presents Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach in water resources management through the integration of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). These methods were applied for identification of suitable dam site in Tlawng sub-basin. The influential criteria for dam site selection were initially identified through literature review and experts opinion which was followed by the selection of four (4) feasible sites after having studied Tlawng watershed. Lastly, AHP and TOPSIS were applied to determine the relative weight and rank respectively.

With the rise in the global aging population, selecting sites for nursing homes for old-age care has become critical and challenging. The site selection of a nursing home can be considered as a multicriteria decision-making. Because of the increasing complexity and uncertainty of the socioeconomic environment, standard assessments cannot handle this multicriteria decision-making. Therefore, this study provides a multi-criteria decision-making method based on Interval 2 Fuzzy Sets (IT2FS). It obtains comprehensive weights through the AHP method and the CRITIC method. Compared with the traditional TOPSIS, the improved TOPSIS method reduces the difference between the evaluation results. This method is suitable for the site selection of nursing homes in a certain area. We use the data of nursing homes to show the application of these methods. By comparing with traditional methods, we find that the integrated approach can consider more uncertainties.

Land treatment is defined as the hazardous waste management technology related to application and incorporation of waste into the defined treatment zone of the soil where will occur the degradation, transformation and immobilization of the constituents contained in the applied waste, to ensure protection of surface water and groundwater. This paper describes some criteria for site selection of land treatment facilities used by petroleum refineries, as well as the engineering design, management practices to optimize the process and closure and post-closure techniques.

The selection of breeding habitat is of prime importance for individual fitness. Among birds, natural selection should favour the ability to recognize and select habitat suitable for nesting and rearing chicks. This study compares the characteristics of Sabine's Gull, Xema sabini (Sabine, 1819), nest sites with random points across a coastal tundra environment on Southampton Island, Nunavut, Canada. The availability of terrestrial invertebrate prey was also examined among habitats. Sabine's Gull nests were nonrandomly distributed in relation to vegetation, substrate, and proximity to water. Gulls nested within approximately 1 km of the coastline and selected sites with the greatest proportions of moss and standing water (i.e., they nested close to the edge of small freshwater ponds near shore). However, there were no detectable differences in characteristics between successful and unsuccessful nests within preferred habitat. The dynamics of terrestrial invertebrate prey communities varied between years, but the volume of invertebrates in Sabine's Gull nesting habitat was intermediate between the most productive habitats and the least productive habitats in both years. However, nest-site selection in Sabine's Gulls may also be influenced by the availability of aquatic invertebrates (not examined in this study) and their proximity to the marine coastline, where chicks are taken to be reared.
