Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine how a multiple objective decision making technique may be used as an aid in analyzing the past developments of the Rio Grande management system and the present water use strategies employed by the decision makers. Then, by assuming that these developments of the past will propagate into the future, the most preferable operational strategies that could be used by these decision makers under climate fluctuation coupled with future population growth scenarios are derived. As pointed out in Duckstein et al. (1982), Szidarovszky et al. (1986) and Bardossy and Duckstein (1992), common problems in formulating a multiple objective model within a crisp (non-fuzzy) framework include the following:
-
1./
diversity of objectives,
-
2./
different importance and compensation among objectives,
-
3./
undefined numerical scales for some objectives.
