A generic simulation-optimization framework for optimal irrigation and fertilizer scheduling is
developed, where the problem is represented in the form of decision-tree graphs, ant colony …

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

Open canals are a common water transfer method used in water transfer projects and
agricultural irrigation and drainage projects. With the emergence of drawbacks in traditional …

The Nile basin ecosystem is under stress due to rapid population growth, inefficient
utilization of resources, climate change, and persistent conflicts among riparian countries …

A complete water distribution scheme should include the scheduling of the check gates and
turn out gates. This study aims to resolve the water distribution problem in irrigation districts …

Reclaimed water (RW) is a reliable alternative water supply for irrigation in the agricultural
sector, which is the predominant consumer of water in Iraq. A mixed-integer nonlinear …

Precision agriculture has been increasingly practised in recent years. Under precision
management, farmland is divided into several management zones to implement different …

The management improvement of irrigation networks is inevitable because of limited water
resources and competition in various sectors of industry, agriculture, environment, and …

Well-structured institutional arrangements for irrigation canal scheduling facilitate the
implementation of integrated water governance. However, there is a structural mismatch …

Although various optimization algorithms have been developed for operational purposes,
the development of new optimization algorithms is still an open problem due to the complex …
