Abstract
Multicropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same space during a single growing season. Planning rules are mathematical equations that use previous experiences of a water resource system to balance the system’s water supply and demand, and calculate multicrop areas in various periods. In this paper, linear and nonlinear planning rules are developed for optimal multicrop irrigation areas associated with reservoir operation policies in a reservoir-irrigation system. Reservoir operations are related to water allocations to each irrigated area by considering inflow and storage volume of the reservoir as the water supply in a monthly operation period. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) can determine optimal multicropping patterns planning rules by considering various mathematical patterns. In this paper, three EAs, namely, (1) genetic algorithm (GA), (2) particle swarm optimization (PSO), and (3) shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) are employed and compared to maximize the total net ...Keywords
