New modeling paradigms for assessing future irrigation storage requirements: a case study of the Western irrigation district in Alberta

Use of mathematical optimization to construct optimal reservoir operating rules—A case study of the Barna reservoir in Narmada Basin, India

“…However, creation of short-term operating rules relies on the conjunctive use of multiple step optimization in combination with the deficit sharing constraint, which is rarely used among practitioners. Justification for this approach is simultaneous optimization of water supply and water use is demonstrated by Ilich et al [12] , especially as it pertains to irrigation, since irrigation is usually the largest water user. The approach is briefly outlined below.…”
