Abstract: This study proposed an inexact credibility constrained programming (ICCP) to deal with multi-formats of uncertainties in parameters and variables for an agricultural water planning system. The study system includes three subareas with different crop distributions. The redundant water in the wet season can be stored in the reservoir and utilized in the dry season. The ICCP method can reflect not only inexact uncertainties in the objective function, variables and parameters, but also fuzzy uncertainties in the right-hand side. Interval credibility levels which represent satisfaction degrees of the constraints can be analyzed. Scenario analysis is conducted to analyze possible events in wet and dry years. The resulting solutions can provide stable intervals for the objective function and decision variables with different levels of risk when violating the constraints.
