Flowchart of the macro management tool for WFE Nexus of geospatial administrative nodes (districts) with core aspects addressed by two DSS processes.
The first for the “Realize” and “Why” phases and the second for the”How” phase.

Possible core, water related, action alternatives interlinked with criteria (i.e., decision framework) and associated with the WFE nexus.
Alternatives (emphasized by different colors) are associated with sub-units.

Persons per household for the year 2011, distributed over 14 districts.
Districts are numerated in an ascending order from North to South. Values vary slightly for the years 2003 and 2007. All maps in Figs 3–6 have been prepared with ArcGIS Desktop [71]. Country borders and district borders in Figs 3–6 have been downloaded from ArcGIS Online [71].

a. Interpolated surface of normalized and
expenditure locus points for Israels’ 14 districts along the continuous years 2004–2011. Note samples of districts’ evolution path. Districts enumerations are as in Fig 3. Surface was computed with Matlab [72]. b. Snapshots from the W-F-E surface in Fig 7A, of the normalized components’ evolution trend for four different districts. District labels and their enumerations are as in Fig 3. c. Evolution interpolated surfaces of districts’ W, F and E, expenditures, in an enumeration order (Fig 3) from North to South. Note the increase across districts after year 2007. Surfaces were computed with Matlab [72].
