Optimal Irrigation Allocation: a Multilevel Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optimal resources allocation strategies for a canal command in the semiarid region of Indian Punjab are developed in a stochastic regime, considering the competition of the crops in a season, both for irrigation water and area of cultivation. The proposed strategies are divided into two modules using a multilevel approach. The first module determines the optimal seasonal allocation of water as well as optimal cropping pattern. This module is subdivided into two stages. The first stage is a single crop intraseasonal model that employs a stochastic dynamic programming algorithm. The stochastic variables are weekly canal releases and evapotranspiration of the crop that are fitted to different probability distribution functions to determine the expected values at various risk levels. The second stage is a deterministic dynamic programming model that takes into account the multicrop situation. An exponential seasonal crop-water production function is used in this stage. The second module is a single crop stochastic dynamic programming intraseasonal model that takes the output of the first module and gives the optimal weekly irrigation allocations for each crop by considering the stress sensitivity factors of crops.

Pricing policies play an important role in water demand management and its optimal allocation. Determining proper water price leads to optimal allocation of water especially in agricultural consumptions. Applying new subsidy targeting law in Iran which insists on pricing water based on its supply cost, will effects considerably on water resource management in agriculture sector. So, in this stu...

ABSTRACT- Inadequate water supply is the major problem for agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions. Thus, effective management should be considered for water resources planning. In this research, a model was provided which is able to estimate optimal land and water allocation in the Doroodzan irrigation network. Optimal water management model was used at farm level to evaluate different defic...
