Comparative assessment reveals effective water treatment strategies for 2-MIB and geosmin, highlighting implications for water quality.

The study aims to compare the effectiveness of various techniques for removing 2-MIB and geosmin from drinking water.
Employed a multi-criteria decision-making approach.
Evaluated five treatment alternatives with specific methodologies.
Assessed treatments across seven performance criteria.
Conducted a sensitivity analysis to check the stability of rankings.
Modified activated carbon adsorption (A2) showed the highest removal efficiency.
Peroxone oxidation (A3) had the fastest degradation but high chemical demands.
AHP, TOPSIS, and SMAA ranked A2 as most favorable, while VIKOR favored A5.
Sensitivity analysis confirmed ranking stability despite varying criteria weights.

Aykut-Senel et al. (2026) studied this question.
