Conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater is being practiced in many regions of the
world to bring more areas under irrigation, increase agricultural production and productivity …

A multiobjective programming model is proposed for optimal allocation of surface and
groundwater resources under water deficits in arid and semiarid regions. This paper …

In many discussions, work force is mentioned as the most important factor of production.
Principally, work force is a factor which can compensate for the physical and material …

Studies of the performance assessment of irrigation schemes have gained momentum since
the late 1980s due to the common perspective that the resources (land and water) in …

A non-linear optimization model for deficit irrigation is proposed in the present study to
maximize the net financial return within the available resource constraints. The deficit levels …

This paper presents the application of a long-term streamflow forecasting model developed
using artificial neural networks at a stream gauging station in the Awash River Basin …

376Water scarcity is a worldwide problem and the best solution is to make an efficient use of
water in the agricultural sector. The use of deficit irrigation is a suitable method in water …

Water scarcity limits the supply to irrigation schemes worldwide. In many areas, chronic
water deficits force irrigation districts to allocate water at levels well below the crop water …

Water is increasingly becoming scarce due to competing demands from agriculture, industry,
recreation and the environment. With increased concerns regarding climate change and …

To sustain productive irrigated agriculture with limited water resources requires a high water
use efficiency. This can be achieved by the precise scheduling of deficit irrigation systems …
