An Approach to Optimizing the Water Resources ManagementProblem in a Fuzzy Environment

Fully fuzzy linear programming is applied to water resourcesmanagement due to its close connection with human life, which isconsidered to be of great importance. This paper investigates thedecision-making concerning water resources management underuncertainty based on two-stage stochastic fuzzy linear programming.A solution method for solving the problem with fuzziness in relationsis suggested to prove its applicability. The purpose of the method isto generate a set of solutions for water resources planning that helpsthe decision-maker make a tradeoff between economic efficiency andrisk violation of the constraints. Finally, a numerical example isgiven and is approached by the proposed method.
