Abstract
This paper presents a practical application of MCDM in local water resources management problems. A stochastic dynamic programming model with a fuzzy criterion is proposed to monthly reservoir operations. A series of goal programming models are built for water supply and allocation by different planning and operating levels. DP-GP models fulfill the optimal operation tasks for Qinhuangdao water resources management.
