Optimal Allocation of Farm Irrigation Water during Peak Seasons
提出一种系统分析方法，利用土壤水分响应函数，结合线性规划和动态规划模型，在高峰季节将稀缺灌溉水优化分配给不同作物和地块，以最大化农场收入，并以棉花农场为例展示应用。
Abstract The paper presents a system analysis approach to the allocation of scarce water during peak seasons to alternative crops and plots, using soil moisture response functions for the key crops. The system contains a linear programming model intended to maximize the farm's income and a dynamic programming model, which generates new irrigation scheduling activities in response to the shadow prices of water given by linear programming solutions. The “generalized Wolfe” LP algorithm is applied. An application to a cotton farm is presented.
