Planning for Sustainable Development of a River Basin

چکیده
The application of systems analysis techniques in evaluating project alternatives having more than one objective in river basin planning for the sustainable development is of recent origin. This paper presents the planning under fuzzy environment including both qualitative and quantitative aspects for the sustainable development of a major peninsular river basin (Krishna River Basin) in southern India. Formulation of alternatives include seven reservoirs and a diversion head work with eight main objectives. A general trapezoidal fuzzy weights and the fuzzy arithmetic were used for ranking the alternatives. Ranks of the alternatives and the formulation of Multi Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) problem for the optimum utilization of the water resources for the preferred alternative ranked were also presented.
