Abstract: Many water resources systems are characterized by multiple objectives. For multiobjective optimization, typically there can be no single optimal solution which can simultaneously satisfy all the goals, but rather a set of ...

Abstract: Remote sensing has revolutionized the assessment of evapotranspiration by continuous monitoring of the variable at a global scale. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate actual evapotranspiration (AET) in areas ...

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient and reliable swarm intelligence-based approach, namely elitist-mutated particle swarm optimization (EMPSO) technique, to derive reservoir operation policies for multipurpose reservoir ...

Abstract: Optimal resources allocation strategies for a canal command in the semiarid region of Indian Punjab are developed in a stochastic regime, considering the competition of the crops in a season, both for irrigation water and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) model for obtaining an optimal operating policy and optimal crop water allocations from an irrigation reservoir. The objective is to maximize the sum of the relative yields from ...

Abstract: This study borrows the measures developed for the operation of water resources systems as a means of characterizing droughts in a given region. It is argued that the common approach of assessing drought using a univariate ...

Abstract: General circulation models (GCMs) are routinely used to simulate future climatic conditions. However, rainfall outputs from GCMs are highly uncertain in preserving temporal correlations, frequencies, and intensity ...

Abstract: General circulation models (GCMs) use transient climate simulations to predict climate conditions in the future. Coarse-grid resolutions and process uncertainties necessitate the use of downscaling models to simulate ...
