Productivity and sustainability index evaluation for Harsin dam
Authors
Abstract:
Abstract Water availability significantly affects development of agriculture, industry and urban services. Thus, the water industry is among the fundamental industries. Yet, most countries, especially developing countries, are suffering from water deficit, water pollution and flood hazards. These problems are more severe in Iran due to improper management of water resources. Integrated water management is a systematic process for sustainable development and water monitoring which considers socioeconomic and environmental needs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the capability of Harsin dam reservoir on Babazaid River, located 45 km east of Kermanshah, Iran for storage of surface water and groundwater recharge. Water productivity and the results of simulation were analyzed through LINGO and WEAP software using 42 years’ data. Water sustainability index was also calculated via the WEP model and Excel while taking into account the water needs of agriculture, environment and urban supply. The results indicated that the annual water deficit for urban supply, agriculture, environment and industry were 1.74, 14.2, 6.04 and 0.4%, respectively. The water need for agriculture sector in summer was considerable.

Malmquist Productivity Index for Multi Time Periods
The performance of a decision making unit (DMU) can be evaluated in either across-sectional or a time-series manner, and data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a useful method for both types of evaluation. The Malmquist productivity index (MPI) evaluates the change in efficiency of a DMU between two time periods. It is defined as the product of the Catch-up and Frontier-shift terms. In this pape...

In some situations the producers desire to maximize total profit of Decision Making Units (DMUs) while the inputs and outputs prices of DMUs change from one time period to another. In this paper, the researchers develop productivity index when producers are going to maximize total profit when the price of inputs and outputs are known.The proposed method uses all price information about inputs a...

With growing populations and ever increasing pressure on resources, the need to live sustainably with our environment has increased in significance. When considering such anthropogenic pressures, karst landscapes are as vulnerable, if not more so, than any other environment. Such vulnerability arises from the rapid transit times of percolating water, the poor filtering ability of carbonate bedr...
