Dynamic Irrigation Scheduling Model For A Canal Command

Abstract

The linear and dynamic programmings are two most used systems analysis techniques for planning of water resources use in a canal command. The stage wise allocation of water is better achieved through the use of dynamic programming particularly when objective function and constraints are non linear. Irrigation scheduling is one area where this technique fits better than any other systems analysis techniques. The present study is conducted with a view to increase crop return and to plan the future requirement of additional water resources development in the command to realize 75 per cent of the production potential of different crops taken in the canal command.
