Abstract

A Multiobjective Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linear Programming model is developed to get an optimal cropping pattern in the command area of the Ukai-Kakrapar Irrigation project in Gujarat, India. Four conflicting objectives, namely, maximization of net irrigation benefits (NIB), maximization of employment (EG), minimization of cultivation cost (CC), and maximization of revenue generation on account of industrial and municipal supplies (MI) were optimized for their crisp linear programming (LP) solutions. Intuitionistic Fuzzy Optimization Multi-objective fuzzy linear programming (IFO MOFLP), IFO MOFLP with hesitation index, and two-phase IFO MOFLP models were developed from their LP solutions. The TPIFO MOFLP model has been found to perform better than other variant of IFO MOFLP models and the MOFLP model (Average operator Case-I) developed by Mirajkar and Patel in J Water Resour Plan Manag 142(11):1–16, 2016 for the same command area with reference to the uncertainty parameters like degree of acceptance (α), rejection (β), and hesitation index (π) for 75% dependable inflow condition. The recommended TPIFO MOFLP model also gives higher irrigation intensity (112.19%) than Average Operator Case-I (104.60%) for the whole command area. The implementation of TPIFO MOFLP model in the command area is likely to give the values of NIB, EG, CC, and MI as Rs 10,836.19 million, 34,980.4 thousand workdays, Rs 5,672.23 million, and Rs 2,314.03 million, respectively, with α = 0.68, β = 0.19, and π = 0.13. The suggested model with new parameters like α, β, and, π, would assist the decision makers to apply the same on real world problems with greater certainty.
