Abstract

It is doubtful for experts to exactly assess the performance of irrigation and drainage networks, because of the uncertainty and vagueness of some operation and maintenance parameters. In this context, fuzzification of the weight and value of the criteria may improve the accuracy of assessment. The aim of this study is to develop a fuzzy analytical hierarchical model (FAHP model) for assessing Qazvin IRRIGATION NETWORK and Foomanat, Markazi and Shargh IRRIGATION NETWORKs of Sefidrood area. For that, 21 indicators in five groups of technical, management, environmental, economical and social are considered. Importance of each criterion is determined using FAHP with triangular membership function and based on experts decisions obtained from a questionnaire survey. The quantitative value of indicators is also calculated using field data. Results indicated that management criteria with aggregate weight of 0.350 and environmental criteria with aggregate weight of 0.113 have the maximum and minimum impact on performance of the irrigation systems, respectively. Hence, improvement of managerial factors status (operational services, degree of service on structures, adequate of requirement indicators operation and maintenance) is the most appropriate strategy for improving the performance of these systems. The performance value of Qazvin, Foomanat, Markazi and Shargh IRRIGATION NETWORKs is determined 74.1, 65.4, 57.5, and 60.2%, respectively. Sensitivity analysis of the model demonstrates that any weight variation of the social criterion has a large impact on performance of the IRRIGATION NETWORKs. The findings revealed that the FAHP model is an efficient approach to assess the performance of IRRIGATION NETWORKs and may be applied as a management user-friendly tool of the assessment process.
