Abstract: Some irrigation schemes with limited water supply in Central and Southern India follow the area proportionate water distribution based on assumed uniform characteristics of the command area (planned schedule). However in ...

Abstract: On irrigation schemes with rotational irrigation systems in semiarid tropics, the existing rules for water allocation are based on applying a fixed depth of water with every irrigation irrespective of the crops, their ...

Abstract: This paper presents the area and water allocation model (AWAM), which incorporates deficit irrigation for optimizing the use of water for irrigation. This model was developed for surface irrigation schemes in semiarid ...

Abstract: The resource allocation model, area and water allocation model, incorporates the concept of deficit irrigation through a variable depth irrigation approach, VDI. It uses this to allocate land and water resources optimally ...

Abstract: Small reservoirs known as tanks are constructed in the watersheds of arid, semiarid, and subhumid regions of India to provide supplementary or protective irrigation to crops during dry spells of the monsoon season or full ...

Abstract: The SOFTANK model optimally designs the watershed-based tank system by simulating field, tank, and groundwater balances. We applied this model to a small watershed consisting of six tanks (small reservoirs) in the semiarid ...

Abstract: Climate change will lead to changed demands on existing irrigation systems. This paper presents a methodology for investigating the performance of irrigation networks under climate change, and applies this to an irrigation ...
