Abstract: Multiobjective decision analysis of water resources systems is becoming increasingly important due to the conflicting nature of objectives such as hydropower, water supply, and flood control. Although there are a number of techniques available for the solution of multiobjective decision problems in water resources systems management and planning, most of them are appropriate only for cases in which either a single reservoir is involved or the inflows into reservoirs are considered deterministic [see, Cohon and Marks,1975; Major,1977; Duckstein et al.,1990, Mohan and Raipure,1992]. Multiobjective decision analysis becomes extremely complicated when one deals concurrently with multiple reservoirs and stochastic inflows because of the so-called curse of dimensionality [Bellman and Dreyfus,1962].
