This work presents a model based on on-farm irrigation scheduling and the simple genetic algorithm optimization (GA) method for decision support in irrigation project planning. The proposed model is applied to an irrigation project located in Delta, Utah of 394.6 ha in area, for optimizing economic pro®ts, simulating the water demand, crop yields, and estimating the related crop area percentage...
