optimal allocation of water resources is an essential service in agriculture that must be considered by farmers. one of the most significant factors in optimal allocation of water resources in agriculture is to define optimal farm cropping pattern. in this study, in order to determine optimal cropping pattern and water resources allocation in central district of mashhad city (toos village), the...

the optimal allocation of the chahnimeh water resources among different sectors, viz. domestic, agricultural and environmental consumptions, was determined using the goal programming method in gams, based on the present condition in the area. results showed an increase of 15.4, 44.5 and 230% in allocation of water to domestic, agriculture and environment sectors, respectively, in this method as...

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...

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 defic...

limitation of water resources in the earth has turned it as a valuable economic commodity. accordingly, the agricultural sector of which according to studies has the largest wasted water should be managed. therefore, it is advisable to use the application of methods and programming models such as the decision support system along with the abilities of gis in order to management of the water res...

Scarcity of water resources and huge costs of establishing new hydraulic installations necessitate optimal exploitation from existing reservoirs. Sustainable management and efficient exploitation from existing finite water resources are important factors in water resource management, particularly in the periods of water insufficiency and in dry regions, and on account of competitive allocations...

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...

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...

the scarcity of water resources and supply resources limitation, have caused an increasing gap between water supply and demand specially in recent decades in almost all regions of the globe. one of the best known solutions proposed by the economists is using the different water pricing approaches thereby obtaining the optimal allocation and social justice. to this purpose, this paper uses the p...
