Abstract |
|
In the present study Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been used to develop a policy for optimizing the release of water for the purpose of irrigation. The study area is Ukai Reservoir project in Gujarat, India. Genetic algorithm technique is an optimization approach based on the mechanics of natural selection, derived from the Darwin’s theory of natural evolution. The fitness function used is to minimize the squared difference between the monthly reservoir release and irrigation demand along with squared deviation in mass balance equation. The months considered in the study are July, August, September and October for the year 2010 and 2011 respectively. The results obtained using GA shows that the downstream demands for the purpose of irrigation are completely satisfied and also considerable amount of water is saved. |
