“…Many researchers have developed water allocation models using diferent aspects of problem techniques and solution approaches [14][15][16]. Oxley and Mays [17] developed an optimization water allocation model for the Prescott Active Management Area in Arizona, USA, to maximize the sustainable net economic beneft over a long-term planning period. Meng et al [18] developed and implemented an LP water allocation optimization model based on the sustainability of water resources.…”

The model was created to assist in the appropriate allocation of water to produce crops to optimize net profit through monthly reservoir operation. The model maximizes net crop revenue and determines the type and size of the cultivated crop for each zone, taking into account monthly reservoir water availability. The following factors constrain the optimization model: (1) monthly reservoir water availability; (2) monthly water demand and irrigated farmland for crops; (3) limited crop areas in each zone; (4) projected final storage; (5) proportional sharing rule (PSR) for each zone. The linear programming (LP) algorithm is used to formulate the model, which is then solved using the general algebraic modeling system (GAMS). The model is applied to Hali Dam and validated using two criteria: (1) baseline scenarios (non-PSR) and (2) PSR scenarios in which all zones must have the same amount of water. The results demonstrate that the PSR scenarios give all of these zones identical rights for water delivery, with a total net profit reduction of around 2.6 percent at the planned final storage of 100 Hm3. As a result, the current model can be utilised to optimize dam water consumption in the future. The methodology is applied to a reservoir of Hali Dam in Saudi Arabia to demonstrate the model’s practical application.

“…A decision-making tool for agricultural production sector was developed by the development of a linear water allocation optimization model considering the local and the regional levels by analyzing the inter-seasonal irrigation water allocation and their effects on the net farm income applied to the Jordan Valley in Jordan [12]. An optimization model maximizing the sustainable net economic benefit over a long-term planning horizon was applied to the Prescott Active Management Area in Arizona, USA [13]. The validity of the developed model that incorporated unique measures of sustainability was evaluated by testing four different scenarios.…”

Reclaimed water (RW) is a reliable alternative water supply for irrigation in the agricultural sector, which is the predominant consumer of water in Iraq. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming reclaimed water allocation optimization model was developed to maximize the net benefit generated from the cultivation of different types of crops, comparing the use of reclaimed water type A (tertiary treated water), and reclaimed water type B (secondary treated water). The model was solved using the Algorithms for coNTinuous/Integer Global Optimization of Nonlinear Equations (ANTIGONE) optimizer in the general algebraic modeling system (GAMS). A total of 84 agricultural farms located on 5300 ha to the south of Baghdad, Iraq were available for irrigation with reclaimed water. Analysis considered varying quantities of available reclaimed water and different irrigation efficiencies (45-85%). The net benefits from using lower quantities of reclaimed water were similar for both types of reclaimed water, and the highest net benefit crop was cultivated on 384 ha. As the quantities of water increased, the amount of cultivated land increased and the net benefit per hectare decreased as the model required the cultivation of more crops with lower economic value. Irrigation with reclaimed water has potential to increase agricultural and economic activity adjacent to Baghdad.

“…The researches of sustainable utilization of water resources in western countries often focus on three scales, i.e., national, regional and river basin scale, with the perspective of reliability, resilience, vulnerability and fairness [2,3]. Daniel established the framework of urban water resources analysis and proposed the index system of sustainable evaluation of water resources [4].…”

Abstract. Taken one of the rising national strategies of Xijiang river basin as the study area, we first established the sustainable utilization index system of water resources assessment. Then, the analytic hierarchy process was applied to calculate the index weights. And the composite index method was applied to evaluate the sustainability of water resources of the study area from 2010 to 2014. The results indicated that Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin and Fangchenggang four cities had higher level of sustainability. Qinzhou and Chongzuo city were in the status of unsustainable. The Guangxi Xijiang river basin was in the status of sustainable level in the last five years. The degree of sustainable utilization fluctuated during the years, with the score went up to 43.26 from 2010 to 2013 and then declined to 39.75 at 2014.
