Optimization Analysis of Irrigation Water Using Linear Programpaperpublications3
Abstract: Irrigation water is a resource that is very strategic agriculture, the role of irrigation water has a very large dimensions. These resources not only affect productivity but also affects the spectrum utilization of agricultural commodities. Along with population growth, the demand for irrigation water to produce food (rice) will continue to increase. This is related to the fact that the setting and management of irrigation water are critical to improving agricultural productivity ..
Therefore we need a system of regulation and management of water resources so that irrigation water can be used optimally, including the provision of irrigation water that is tailored to their needs. Provision of irrigation water is the optimal amount of irrigation water supplied from the source through carrier channels (primary and secondary), tertiary canals, until the rice fields as needed.
In this study, the optimization is done by using a Linear Program. Value obtained from this optimization needs irrigation water as needed.
In addition to the optimization is done, to achieve high efficiency and the need for channel maintenance of existing irrigation facilities so not much irrigation water is wasted.
This document summarizes a study that estimated crop and irrigation water requirements for wheat in Karnal district, Haryana, India from 1999-2003 using remote sensing and GIS techniques. Landsat imagery was classified using artificial neural networks to identify 127,340 hectares of wheat area. Potential evapotranspiration was calculated using the Hargreaves method from meteorological data. Crop water requirements were determined by multiplying potential evapotranspiration by crop coefficients for wheat. Effective rainfall was subtracted from crop water requirements to estimate irrigation water requirements. Total irrigation water needs were estimated by adding conveyance and field losses of 35% to the requirements.

India is a land of rivers having prevalently a farming-based economy. Agriculture is the fundamental supporter of most of the general population in India and water is the most significant contribution to crop generation. The accomplishment of agriculture relies on the sufficiency and timely event of precipitation. Yet, the precipitation in India is frequently meagre, uneven and there is indeed, even all out disappointment in certain districts and during certain periods. Downpour is bound to a couple of months in a year and it shifts from year to year and district to-area which makes enormous pieces of the nation defenceless against drought. In this manner, natural distribution of water is lacking both spatially and transiently. Aside from the distinction in money saving advantage of good irrigation in various mouzas and diverse irrigation systems, the spatial example is likewise uneven at small scale level for example one irrigation framework to another irrigation framework. The Z-Score an incentive if there should be an occurrence of Co-employable RLI (+1.80) scored most astounding which shows the greatest net benefit for boro development.

1. Irrigation management involves scheduling irrigation appropriately based on soil type, crop water requirements, and other factors to efficiently use water resources.
2. Common methods of surface irrigation include border irrigation, check basin irrigation, and ridges and furrows irrigation which involve dividing fields into strips or basins and flooding or furrowing the land.
3. Factors considered in irrigation scheduling include soil type, crop water needs, available water supply, and allowing sufficient drying time between irrigations based on the crop's water depletion level. Monitoring soil moisture, plant conditions, and pan evaporation can help determine irrigation timing.
Water resources are crucial for Maharashtra given its large population and cultivation needs. However, only 18% of cultivable land has irrigation due to incomplete and scam-ridden irrigation projects. The state faces major issues like dominance of cities over water and lack of rainfall in some regions leading to droughts and farmer suicides. The government is taking measures like new schemes to complete irrigation projects and assist drought-stricken farmers, but needs reforms to improve water management, encourage conservation and ensure resources are used efficiently for agriculture. Benchmarking performance against other states and implementing new policies, technology, and local participation can help optimize water usage.

1. Linear Programming Approach for
Allocation of Land and Water
Resources in a District- Ahmednagar,
Maharashtra
FINAL REVIEW
SUBMITTED BY:
ABHAS TAPASWI
2. Introduction
It is necessary to increase area under cultivation and/or increase
production per unit area to meet the increasing demand of food, fiber
and fuel for the ever increasing population. As the productivity of
irrigated agriculture is more than 2-3 times the productivity of rain fed
agriculture it is imperative to bring more area under irrigation.
However due to increasing pressure from industries, domestic sector;
and increasing awareness for the ecological concern, it is rather difficult
to bring additional area under cultivation and allocate additional share
of water for agriculture. On the other hand share of water for
agriculture is reducing due to priority of water for domestic and
industrial sectors in National and State water policies.
3. The other options of increasing production per unit area and per unit water
need more scientific utilization of the resources and their optimal allocation
to achieve maximum returns. Linear programming technique has been
found to be having wider application for optimum allocation of land and
water resources in the command area of irrigation projects due to its
simplicity in formulation and implementation [1-3]. In the present study
which aims at developing the optimal cropping pattern for maximization of
net returns at minor level of command area, the linear programming
technique has been used.
This review first presents the optimization model based on linear
programming, the description of the area, water allocation and the results of
the application of the model.
4. Problem Definition
The objective of the project is to Develop a linear programming model
to allocate water resources for irrigation purpose in Ahmednagar
district, Maharashtra.
A linear programming method requires constraints and variables to be
defined, so that the output can be maximized.
The variables here are such as rainfall, crops production, water required
by each crop, other water resources available in the region for the
irrigation purposes are listed in the upcoming tables with proper
constraints. The model will give the optimal cropping pattern for 431.7
ha of command area having water availability of 17128 ha-mm.
After identifying the variables and constraints, the equation is solved
using MS Excel software.
5. MODEL DEVELOPMENT
The linear programming model consisting of three major components:
an objective function for maximization of net return, a set of linear
constraints and a set of non-negativity constraints was developed. The
model is formulated to allocate land among the different crops, in order
to maximize the net return from the command area.
The objective function
The areas to be irrigated under different crops are the decision
variables. The objective function is to maximize the total net benefits
and is given by equation (1).
6. Where, Z is the total net benefits, Rs; Xn is the area to be irrigated under
nth crop, ha; Bn is the net benefit estimated from irrigation of nth crop,
Rs/ha; N is the total number of crops and n is the subscript for crop.
The coefficients of objective function
The net benefit obtained per unit area (Rs/ha) under different crops are
used as coefficients of objective function. These coefficients (Equation1)
for different crops under surface irrigation methods are presented in
Table(1).

8. Water availability constraint
This constraint states that the total water required for irrigating different
crops should not exceed the total water available for irrigation and is
represented by equation (2).
for i = 1,I (2)
Where Win is the irrigation requirement of nth crop during ith
irrigation period, mm and Infi is the inflow of water through the outlet
during ith irrigation period, ha-mm , I is the total number of irrigation
periods and i is the subscription for irrigation period.
9. Land area constraints
This constraint states that the area to be brought under irrigation in any
irrigation period for different crops should not exceed the total cultivable
area and is represented by equation (3).
or i =1, I (3)
where A is the total available cultivable area, in ha
10. The coefficients of land area constraint
The coefficients of land area constraints for different crops (Equation 3) are
presented in Table 2. These constraints indicate presence or absence of a
particular crop during the specified irrigation period, depending on the
planting/ sowing date and the crop growth period. The total cultivable area
during any irrigation period cannot exceed the total command area i.e.
431.75 ha.
The coefficients of water availability constraint
The irrigation requirement of a crop expressed in m for a particular
irrigation period is used as coefficients of water requirement constraint. The
minimum depth of irrigation was considered as 40 mm. The coefficients of
water requirement constraints (Equation 2) are presented in Table 4. The
total water requirement during any irrigation period cannot exceed the
inflow during the irrigation period i.e. 17128 ha-mm.

14. Total water availability
The irrigation interval in this study is14 days with water delivery period of
7 days.
The daily flow at the inlet of the minor during the “ON” period of the canal
is 10 cusec. [1 cusec = 28.317 liters per second].
Hence, the total water available at the inlet of minor during the “ON”
period of the water supply is 17128ha-mm.
This water availability is considered as the inflow for all 26 irrigation
periods of the year.
15. Crop area constraints
These constraints are represented as:
Where c, q, m are the indices for those crops for which the total area
need to be restricted (maximum, equal to and minimum, respectively);
C,Q and M are the total number of crops for which the area needs to be
restricted (maximum, equal to and minimum, respectively); Amaxc is
the maximum area which needs to be restricted for cth crops (ha); Aeqq
is the area which needs to be irrigated for qth crop (ha) and Aminm is the
minimum area which needs to be restricted for mth crop (ha).
16. Non-negative constraints
Crop area restrictions
The crop area restrictions were considered on the basis of the general
cropping pattern in the region. The details are as under:
The minimum area under Sugarcane should be 10% of the total outlet
command area.
The minimum area under all fruit crops together (Papaya, Banana,
Pomegranate, grapes and Lime) should be 10% of the total outlet
command area.
17. The minimum area under all Kharif crops (Kharif Soybean, Kharif
Groundnut, Cotton and Kharif Brinjal) should be 20% of the total outlet
command area.
The minimum area under all Rabi crops (Rabi Tomato, Rabi Onion, Gram,
Potato and Cabbage) should be 40% of the total outlet command area.
The minimum area under all summer crops (Summer Brinjal, Summer
Cucumber, Summer onion, Summer Okra, Summer Groundnut and Summer
Chilli) should be 20% of the total outlet command area.

21. CASE STUDY
The Mula Irrigation Project is situated on river Mula which originates
in the Western Ghats near Harishchandragad (RL 1425 m) in the high
ranges of Sahyadri. The river and command area of the irrigation
project are situated in Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra. The reservoir
of Mula Irrigation Project is situated at Baragaon Nandur and
command area is spread over Rahuri, Newasa, Shevgaon and Pathardi
Talukas of Ahmednagar. The total cultural command area
encompassed by the minor is 431.75 ha. The discharge of minor at the
head regulator is 0.283 cusec. The average annual rainfall in the area is
550 mm. The climate of the area is semi-arid and the average annual
temperature is observed to vary from 32 °C to 17 °C.
22. Crops are grown in two seasons namely Kharif and Rabi together with
perennial crops. The recommended cropping pattern of the project
includes perennials, two seasonal crops like chilli and cotton, Kharif
crops like bajara, paddy, groundnut and vegetables and the Rabi crops
like wheat, maize, gram along with a small percent of hot weather
crops and un-irrigated pulses. The Rotational Water Supply system is
followed in the canal command area of Mula Irrigation Project. The
rotation is based on 7 days “ON” and 7 days “OFF” period. Presently,
water users associations are formed in the command and water charges
on volumetric basis is proposed. There are 346 land holders in the
command area. The majority of the farmers (52 %) in the study area
are marginal farmers. Small farmers constitute for about 33% of the
total farming community of the command area. 12 % of the total land
holders are in semi- medium category and only 1 % farmers have
medium size land holding.
23. Selection of crops
The crops considered in the analysis are papaya, banana, sugarcane,
pomegranate, lime, grapes, Kharif soybean, Rabi tomato, Kharif
groundnut, Rabi onion, cotton, gram, potato, Kharif brinjal, cabbage,
Summer brinjal, Summer cucumber, Summer onion, Summer okra,
Summer groundnut and Summer chilli. Selections of these crops are
based on their productivity in the area and the farmer’s preference for
the crops.
24. RESULTAND DISCUSSION
The developed model was applied to the case study area under the
following assumptions with the input data presented in the previous
section.
1. All producers in a command have identical input coefficients.
2. All farmers in a command follow same cropping pattern.
3. The input requirements like labor, fertilizers etc. are not limiting
factor for optimal cropping.
4. Land and water are the only limitations for optimal allocation.
The model was solved using MS-Excel® software, the Solver. The
results of application of the model to the command area of Direct
Minor no.3, Mula irrigation project are discussed here.
25. The model was run for the total command area of the minor and the
maximum net benefit was found to be of Rs. 54188188.49.
It is optimal to allocate 38.09ha (8.82%) of area to Papaya, 86.35ha
(20%) to Rabi Tomato, 86.35 (20%) ha to Kharif Brinjal 76.72 (17.76)
ha to Summer Brinjal, 9.63 (2.23%) ha to Summer Onion for
maximum net benefits. Area allocation for maximum net benefits is
shown in fig.2.
Water allocation under the optimal plan is presented in Fig.1. The
allocation is observed to vary from 8617.46 ha-mm to 17128 ha-mm
during the year. The maximum allocation is required for the 2nd, 9th,
12th, 19th, 25th and 26th irrigation period. This variation is due to
variation in the water requirement during different periods. The water
allocation schedule presented in Fig.1 also acts as the water release
schedule for minor no.3 for optimal benefits.

28. CONCLUSION
The following conclusions are drawn from the application of model to
the command area of Direct Minor no.3, Mula irrigation project:
The computer model based on linear programming is useful to find the
optimal cropping pattern and water release schedule at the minor level
under given scenario of crop mix and water availability.
The available water at the inlet of the command area is not sufficient to
irrigate the entire command area since all the crops are not irrigated well.
Hence to increase the production of different types of crops water
inflow should be increased or irrigation must be carried out at definite
proportion of command area so that more area could be brought under
irrigation.
