Abstract:
To facilitate regional water resources allocation, an integrated bi-level multi-objective programming (IBMP) model with dual random fuzzy variables was developed in this research The proposed model was derived through incorporating dual random fuzzy variables, multi-objective programming, and interval parameter programming within a bi-level optimization framework. This approach improved upon the previous bi-level programming methods and had two advantages. Firstly, it was capable of reflecting tradeoffs among multiple conflict preferences for water related bi-level hierarchical decision-making processes. Secondly, random fuzzy variables were used to tackle the dual uncertainties in both sides of the constraints, which were characterize as probability density functions and discrete intervals. Then, a real-world water resources planning problem was employed for illustrating feasibility of the application of IBMP model in Dongjiang river watershed of south China. Results reflected the alternative decisions for water allocation schemes under a set of probability levels and fuzzy α - cut levels, which can support in-depth analysis of tradeoffs among multiple levels and objective values. Moreover, modeling comparison analysis was undertaken to illustrate the performances of the proposed model.
