This paper provides an overview of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) applications in managing water-related disasters (WRD). Although MCDA has been widely used in managing natural disasters, it appears that no literature review has been conducted on the applications of MCDA in the disaster management phases of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Therefore, this paper fills this gap by providing a bibliometric analysis of MCDA applications in managing flood and drought events. Out of 818 articles retrieved from scientific databases, 149 articles were shortlisted and analyzed using a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) approach. The results show a significant growth in MCDA applications in the last five years, especially in managing flood events. Most articles focused on the mitigation phase of DMP, while other phases of preparedness, response, and recovery remained understudied. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was the most common MCDA technique used, followed by mixed-method techniques and TOPSIS. The article concludes the discussion by identifying a number of opportunities for future research in the use of MCDA for managing water-related disasters.

多标准决策分析（MCDA）在管理与水有关的灾害事件中的应用概述：分析20年有关洪水和干旱事件的文献

本文概述了多标准决策分析（MCDA）在管理与水有关的灾难（WRD）中的应用。尽管MCDA已被广泛用于管理自然灾害，但似乎尚未对MCDA在减灾，备灾，响应和恢复的灾害管理阶段中的应用进行文献综述。因此，本文通过对MCDA在管理洪水和干旱事件中的应用进行了文献计量分析，填补了这一空白。从科学数据库中检索到的818篇文章中，有149篇文章被入围并使用系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）方法进行了分析。结果表明，在过去五年中，MCDA应用程序有了显着增长，尤其是在洪水事件管理方面。大多数文章都集中在缓解DMP的阶段，而对准备，响应和恢复的其他阶段的研究仍然不足。层次分析法（AHP）是最常用的MCDA技术，其次是混合方法技术和TOPSIS。本文通过确定使用MCDA来管理与水有关的灾难的未来研究的许多机会来结束讨论。
