abstract

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 deficit irrigation (di) strategies at various periods of crop growth. genetic algorithm toolbox by matlab (mathworks, 2009) software was used for benefit optimization considering practical constraints. results showed that deficit irrigation technique significantly reduced water allocation and increased the crops cultivation area in the region. in addition, increase in water price and the occurrence of drought resulted in cropping pattern change and led to including crops with high economic values. application of this model ensures the optimal use of available water resources in all conditions, especially under drought condition. the proposed model is capable of defining water management plan with regard to the amount of available water and price of water and product, for simultaneous optimal land and water allocation.

Optimal allocation of water resources in Khanmirza watershed using WEAP

Abstract Constraints on water resources and increasing the number and variety of water users has led to appeal of the importance of optimal water allocation. The Khanmirza watershed in Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari Province, has experienced unsustainable development by relying on groundwater resources.  As a result of this imbalance, a dramatic drop occurred in the aquifer of the Khanmiza plain. Th...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Stochastic soil water balance under seasonal climates.

The analysis of soil water partitioning in seasonally dry climates necessarily requires careful consideration of the periodic climatic forcing at the intra-annual timescale in addition to daily scale variabilities. Here, we introduce three new extensions to a stochastic soil moisture model which yields seasonal evolution of soil moisture and relevant hydrological fluxes. These approximations al...

Vegetation dynamics and soil water balance in a water-limited Mediterranean ecosystem on Sardinia, Italy

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Mediterranean ecosystems are commonly heterogeneous savanna-like ecosystems, with contrasting plant functional types (PFTs, e.g., grass and woody vegetation) competing for the water use. Mediterranean ecosystems are also commonly character...

Assessing the Sustainability of Groundwater Resources Using Water Exploitation and Green Water Scarcity Indicators

Sustainability of groundwater resources means ensuring the permanent availability of essential groundwater services for a long-time. This research was conducted to investigate the sustainability of groundwater resources in the prohibited plain of Behshahr- Bandar-e-Gaz by using water expoliation and green water scarcity indices. Initially, the green water deficit index was calculated based on t...
