Ranking of Reservoirs to Increase the Water Storage Capacity
Keywords:
Reservoir Capacity, Analytic Hierarchy Process, Project RankingAbstract
Development of a new reservoir project has become more difficult. Such a process is also lengthy as it involves several steps, starting from a feasibility study to the construction process. Increasing the reservoir capacity has therefore proved to be a more desirable solution. However, the number of personnel that can participate in such an activity is limited. For this reason, ranking the reservoirs, so as to decide which possess higher priority, is an important task. The present study applied the so-called Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate the weight of various criteria and decision alternatives. The study indicated that ranking by integrating AHP with the agency’s policy is practical and yields consistent results. Based on the present study, the ranking results in terms of priority in descending order are the Nong Kho Reservoir, Ban Bueng Khayai Reservior, Map Pra Chan Reservoir, Khlong Rabom Reservoir, Klong Ra-Ok Reservoir, Khlong Phraphut Reservoir, Huai Raeng Reservior, Khlong Sano Reservior, Khlong San Sai Reservior, Dan Chum Phon Reservior, Baan Manow Reservior, Kut Ta Phet Reservoir, Khlong Lam Kong Reservoir, Tab Lan Reservoir, Sai Thong Reservoir, Khlong Mai Phlong Reservoir, Khlong Wang Bon Reservior, Khlong Si Siad Reservior and Khao Ito Reservior 1.
