Abstract
In order to reduce the damages of water shortages, it is important to allocate water resources efficiently. Therefore, we present a prototype of the mathematical model for optimal allocation of water resources among blocks in a water supply network for situations where restricted water supply planning is inevitable. The model is a goal programming model that does not minimize the total amount of water shortages but the total weighted penalties considering the importance of water demands partitioned into smaller blocks according to their importances. With the model, we can meet the demands with higher priorities and mitigate the severity of water shortages by minimizing the maximum of water shortages of each block.
