Descrizione Optimized Strategic Plan for Natuwadi Medium Irrigation Project
A linear programming model was developed considering two specific objectives viz., net benefit maximization and optimal area allocation. Land available, water available, and food requirement are the constraints considered for model. The model was run at 70 per cent, 80 per cent, 90 per cent and 100 per cent availability levels of storage's excluding different water losses. The optimal cropping pattern indicated that net benefit and area are increased as water availability level increases. For Right bank canal of 965 ha ICA at 70 per cent, 80 per cent, 90 per cent and 100 per cent water availability level, for net benefit maximization, the area brought to be irrigated as 583 ha, 678 ha, 757 ha and 811 ha, respectively. At the same time, the net benefit found to be Rs. 102.69 M, Rs. 129.02 M, Rs. 153.67 M and Rs. 177.66 M, respectively. Also, for distributory 1 (Dy1) of RBC of 400 ha ICA at different water availability level, the area brought to be irrigated as 221 ha, 240 ha, 274 ha and 308 ha of the ICA, respectively, the net benefit found to be Rs. 46.58 M, Rs. 51.39 M, Rs. 61.09 M and Rs. 71.55 M, respectively.
