due to limitation of available water and soil resources in iran, the challenge of optimizing the utilization of these resources has become more significant. one of the solutions to the economic, planning and optimization of water use and achieve the optimum level of water use is associated with improved farming activities and this is the most important agricultural research needs. the study of ...

dam reservoirs supply potable, agricultural, and industrial water in most cities of iran. due to lack of proper operational rules or unbalanced demand versus water resources volume, (along operating time) correction in operational rules is required to fulfill current situations. hence the goal of this study is to optimize the qeshlaq dam reservoir operation rules to maximize the water release f...

Location and types of sensors may be integrated for simultaneous achievement of water security goals and other water utility objectives, such as regulatory monitoring requirements. Complying with the recent recommendations on dual benefits of sensors, this study addresses the optimal location of these types of sensors in a multipurpose approach. The study presents two mathematical models for ...

in this paper, landscape allocation using genetic algorithm (laga), a spatial multi-objective land use optimization software is introduced. the software helps in searching for optimal land use when multiple objectives such as suitability, area, cohesion and edge density indices are simultaneously involved. laga is a flexible and easy to use genetic algorithm-based software for optimizing the sp...
