چکیده

due to increasing demand for the scarce available water throughout the world it is an extremely important matter, in water management, to make serious attempts in determining its true economic value. this paper discusses the optimal allocation of water to agriculture, the relatively true economic value of water as well as the cropping patterns for the shirvan barzo (sb) dam area in north khorasan province of iran. the analysis is based on linear programming (lp) and on multi goal linear programming (mglp) models for determining solutions that can maximize net return to farmers. in the study, the priority of goals is developmental, social, economical, and environmental respectively. the results indicated that optimizing the cropping patterns along with proper the allocation of irrigation water has yet substantial potential to increase the net return from agriculture. it has already decreased the applied water as much as 19 percent. the results show that the economic value of each unit of agricultural water is estimated to be between 107 to 1296 irr×104 per cubic meter. this suggests managing the allocation of water based on optimal models and bring water prices close to its true economic value to motivate the farmers to economize in the applied water.

Application of Mathematical Programming Model for Optimal Allocation of Voshmgir Dam Water for Various Consumptions (Case Study: Golestan Province)

Water is an essential yet constrained commodity for human communities and ecological systems depend on it. With population growth and economic development, water resource is increasingly declining. Over the past two decades, because of changes in population and climate, and relative welfare increase, the per capita consumption of water has increased. Thus, optimal use of available water resourc...

Mathematical programming for the optimal allocation of health care resources

The standard decision rules of cost-effectiveness analysis either require the decision maker to set a threshold willingness to pay for additional health care or to set an overall fixed budget. In practice, neither are generally taken, but instead an arbitrary decision rule is followed which may not be consistent with the overall budget, lead to an allocation of resources which is less than opti...

The Economic Evaluation of Optimal Water Allocation Using Artificial Neural Network (Case Study: Moghan Plain)

recipitation shortage and the consequent loss of several water resources, as well as the population growth, are the most important problems in arid and semi-arid regions like Iran. The providence of basic tools for optimal water resources management is considered as one of the main solutions to this problem. Since the agricultural sector is the main user of water resources, the present study pr...
