A Fully Fuzzy Linear Programming (FFLP) formulation for the reservoir operation of a multipurpose reservoir in presented in the ongoing paper. In the real world, water resources systems usually have complexities among social, economic, natural resources and environmental aspects, which lead to multi-objective problems of significant uncertainties in system parameters, objectives and in their interactions. These uncertainties in FFLP reservoir operation model are considered by being treated as fuzzy sets. In the present study, an FFLP reservoir operation model is developed where all parameters and decision variables are fuzzy numbers. The developed model is demonstrated through a case study of Jayakwadi reservoir stage–II, Maharashtra, India with the objectives of maximization of annual releases for irrigation and hydropower generation. The FFLP reservoir operation model is solved to obtain a compromised solution by simultaneously optimizing the fuzzified objectives and the corresponding degree of truthfulness, using linear membership function. The degree of correspondence (Correspondence) obtained is equal to 0.78 and the corresponding annual releases for irrigation amount of 367 Mm3 and while annual releases for hydropower generation being 216 Mm3. the present study clearly demonstrates that, use of FFLP in multipurpose reservoir system optimization presents a potential alternative to attain an optimal operating policy.
