Abstrakt: The Sinos River basin (SRB) is one of the most polluted river basins in Brazil, leading to considerable efforts to mitigate the impacts and achieve their recovery, is possible through adequate integral management. Aiming at the need for water quality management through the analysis of the interrelationships among the different factors, which can be difficult given the multiple connections between the variables involved. In this article, the authors presented a tool of multi-criteria decision method using Neutrosophie elements in AHP-TOPSIS models and linked to Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, which can contribute to better environmental management to be carried out by the Basin Management Committee of the Sino River. This method, it is possible for modeling the complex system and variables involved inthe determination of water quality, according to the Water Quality IndexandusingNeutrosophie Analytical Hierarchical Process (NAHP) with Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for ranking scenarios. The methodology exposed in this research shows an improved method to be used by the SRB Committee when planning decisions. The applicability of the framework has been demonstrated during the case study presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
