South Asia is gradually diversifying its crop sector in favour of high value commodities, especially fruits, vegetables and spices. If carried out appropriately, diversification can be used as a tool to augment farm income, generate employment, alleviate poverty and conserve precious soil and water resources. In India in the state of West Bengal diversification in cropping pattern is a very rec...

In a runoff irrigation system using levelled basins, the water uptake patterns of different plant species (Acacia saligna (Labill.) H. L. Wend. and Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) with contrasting root and shoot development were compared. Rainfall amounts during 1995 led to enough runoff water for realizing two cropping cycles. The amount of irrigation water was sufficient to fill the moisture-de...

Abstract Water allocation can be evaluated from various economic, environmental, food security, and climate aspects. This paper was conducted to develop an optimal water strategy with economic framework. A game theory has been used determine the planning structure. cooperative technique based on core solution, Shepley value, Nucleolus solution incorporated into decision-making system results of...

decisions relating to most irrigation-planning problems need to be made in the face of hydrologic uncertainties, which make the irrigation-planning problem more complex. the uncertainties can be tackled by formulating the problem as fuzzy linear programming (flp). in the present study, single objective fuzzy linear programming (soflp) irrigation planning model was formulated for deriving the op...
