Abstract
In this chapter we have provided details on the survey completed with postgraduate and undergraduate students registered in course Water Resources Management (MAL1023) and Integrated Water Resources Management (SAB4613) in Semester 1, Session 2012 at Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The aim of the survey was to know which weighting method was more simple in administration and was producing relatively more reliable set of criteria weights. Here we stress that the sample size for conducting the survey was limited and may not satisfy some sampling standards and guidelines. Therefore, the results of the survey are only applicable for the project scope and objectives and beyond this the proposed methodology can be tested with larger number of survey participants where it is likely that the different sets of criteria weights may be obtained. The details of the survey are presented in the subsequent sections of this chapter.
