Optimal cultivation rules in multi‐crop irrigation areas

摘要: A linear programming model is developed for annual cultivation rules of multi-crop irrigation areas in a reservoir–irrigation system. The objective to maximize the benefit system by assigning as well monthly schedules over planning horizon. are considered be function both total volume storage at end last operating year and average inflow rate current year. methodology applied previously analyzed problem, without considering operational rules. Results compared with those linearized modeling problem advantages proposed approach discussed. Furthermore, results indicate that although there 40% decrease value when using rules, nonetheless helpful tool planners and/or stakeholders decide beginning each how much which type product should cultivated. This has been verified applying extracted generated five-year time series. show robustness facing uncertainty parameters. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
