The paper presents an overview of advanced multicriteria approaches, methods and tools used in solving complex agricultural and water management problems. A critical analysis of their applicability in supporting real-life decision-making processes is provided with relation to requirements imposed by organizationally decentralized and economically specific spatial and temporal frameworks, typical for lowland agricultural areas in Western Balkans. A necessity of careful structuring of decision problems is discussed regarding planning, staging and control aspects within broader agricultural context, and in water management in particular. A special emphasis is given to the importance of manipulating decision elements by means of hierarching and clustering. Hints are provided how to integrate quantitative and qualitative criteria within unique decision framework. Main characteristics of several standard and fuzzy decision-making tools are briefly presented with indication of areas and modes of their preferential use.
