    Abstract


    There are currently many places in the world where water is scarce. Therefore, water reuse has been mentioned by many researchers. Evaluation of water reuse applications is the selection of the best water reuse application of the existing options; it is also one of the applications of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). In this paper, we introduce a new dissimilarity measure of picture fuzzy sets. This new measure overcomes the restriction of other existing dissimilarity measures of picture fuzzy sets. Then, we apply it to the multi-criteria decision making. Finally, we refer to a new method for selecting the best water reuse application of the available options by using the picture fuzzy MCDM.
