Abstract
The objective of this paper is to develop the irrigation planning model and to apply the same in the form of Multi Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) approach for crop planning in command area of Jayakwadi Project Stage I, Maharashtra State, India. To formulate MOFLP model various Linear Programming (LP) models are developed to optimize the Net Benefits (NB), Crop/Yield Production (YP), Employment Generation (EG) and Manure Utilization (MU) for which the objective function and constraints are crisp in nature. From the results of these LP models the linear membership function for each individual objective function has been developed. Considering the decision makers satisfaction level (λ), all the four objectives are maximized simultaneously. The results of the MOFLP and LP are compared. The MOFLP model concentrates on satisfying four objectives simultaneously. The present model will be helpful for the decision maker to take decision under conflicting situation when planning for different objectives simultaneously. The degree of satisfaction λ, works out to be 0.58. Compromised solution provides Net Benefits 1503.73 Million Rupees, Crop Production 319563.50 Tons, Employment Generation/Labour Requirement 29.74 Million Man days and Manure Utilization 154506.50 Tons respectively.

Summary
Water resources systems planning development and management is the area in which irrigation planning problem involves with multiple possible and valuable planning objectives. Irrigation planning problem becomes more complicated, if uncertainty is included in the form of drought and floods, fluctuations in the market price of crops and its yields, non availability of right type of labour at right time and inflow variation from season to season To tackle such kind of vagueness in planning with multiple objectives and the imprecision involved in the parameter values; the fuzzy set theory is considered as an alternative approach. The objective of this paper is to develop the irrigation planning model and to apply the same in the form of Multi Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) approach for crop planning in command area of Jayakwadi Project Stage I, Maharashtra State, India. The objective of MOFLP model is to develop an optimal cropping pattern that maximizes Net Benefits, Yield/Crop production, Employment Generation/Labour Requirement and Manure Utilization simultaneously
