Abstract

This paper studies the dynamic optimal allocation of irrigation water resources for multi-crop in multiple agricultural subareas. A multistage irrigation scheduling decision making model is developed which takes into account the decision variable, state variable, state transition equation, initial and terminal conditions, constraints, crop-water production function, and evaporated and leached water. In order to deal with the uncertainty of seasonal inflow and rainfall, the fuzzy random simulation is employed. Results analysis for a case problem is presented to demonstrate the performance of the optimization method, which is proved to be very effective and efficient compared to the actual irrigation scheduling situation.
