Linear Programming (LP) is a popular method for optimisation of a wide range of applications because of its simplicity and availability. However, LP in its classic form is not equipped to handle information with fuzzy uncertainty. In order to address the above problem Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP) can be developed, which is computationally simple and easy to implement to the real world situation. In this article FLP is applied to a classic problem in irrigation management, the area-allocation model.
