Applying Stochastic Goal Programming to Water Resource Management

In this research، stochastic goal programming is applied in water resource management. It is a multi-attribute decision support model which produces satisfactory solutions in uncertainty conditions. The satisfaction of beneficiary users and ecological impacts are investigated in this paper. Also، using sensitivity analysis، the effects of changes of parameters on the model outputs have been investigated. The stochastic goal programming model has been applied for Booshkan valley in the year 2009. Results show that the proposed model is capable to capture multiple objectives. In addition، having the risk parameters being defined، the decision maker can investigate different scenarios، based on different values for parameters.
