Supplementary Material. Assessing Sustainability in Rural Water Supply Systems in Developing Countries Using a Novel Tool Based on Multi-Criteria Analysis.

The application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process method (AHP) to determine the weights of the different attributes and establish their importance in the sustainability of rural water supply systems followed the stages and procedures recommended by Saaty [1]. Thus, the overall goal of the process was defined as “the evaluation of the sustainability of a rural water supply system.” Table S1 provides the attributes to be compared in the evaluation that were obtained from an extensive literature review.
