1 Introduction

Shortage of water resources is a critical constraint for agricul-tural production in arid and semiarid regions Because of thechanging environment agricultural water supply is facing theunpredictable challenge Ashofteh et al estimated that waterdemand volume in the future (2026ndash2039) would increase16 while the average long-term annual volume of runoffwould decrease 07 [1] To meet the challenge reservoirsoperation (RO) is important and particularly difficult [2]

Reservoirs operation plays an important role for arid andsemiarid areas especially when the competition betweenagricultural and ecological water demand is intense Agricul-tural water is critical for food productivity while ecologicalwater is important to regional sustainable developmentReservoirs operation problems concerned with maximiza-tion of irrigation benefits have been emphasized by manyresearchers since the 1970s [3] Typical reservoirs opera-tion method was dynamic programming [3ndash5] Vedula andMujumdar [6] integrated the reservoir release and irrigation

for reservoir management options Dos Santos Teixeira [5]developed a forward dynamic programming (FDP) modelfor real-time reservoirs operation of irrigation districtsGeorgiou and Papamichail [10] aimed to determine optimalirrigation allocation and cropping pattern for multicropsPrasad et al 2012 [11] developed a real-time reservoir releasedecision Among these studies crop yield was critical data fordecision objective There were two ways to determine cropyield (1) estimated by average production per unit area or percube water [12] and (2) calculated through water productionfunction [6 11 13]

However in real-world problem the source of watercould be groundwater and surface (reservoir) water Thenthe problem becomes more complicated to identify the mostefficient strategies for the whole system Reichard [14] applieda stochastic simulation optimization model for Santa Clara-Callcguas Basin surface water-groundwater managementVedula et al [13] optimized multicrop water allocation fora reservoir-canal-aquifer system considering intraseasonalperiod As discussed above previous researchers just con-sidered two issues among reservoirs operation irrigationdistrict ecological water requirement and surface water-groundwater conjunctive use To approach the real situationan integrated water allocation model related to these issueswas considered

Another difficulty in the whole systemwas the uncertain-ties including natural factors and human triggers Uncertain-ties in reservoir and irrigation system caused by river inflowsand crops requirement had been discussed from differentaspects [1 15ndash18] Karamouz and Vasiliadis [15] forecastedthe stream flows by Bayesian stochastic dynamic programing(BSDP) with different conditional probabilities Teegavarapuand Simonovic [16] handled the imprecise loss function forshort time reservoirs operation under fuzzy environmentSeifi and Hipel [19] presented a stochastic model to deal withthe stochasticity of inflows under multiple inflow scenariosChang et al [18] combined grey system with fuzzy stochasticdynamic programming Although uncertainty was consid-ered the reliability of satisfying (or risk of violating) cannotbe reflectedThen Azaiez et al [20] applied chance constraintto explain the potential benefits of groundwater saving

But these methods cannot handle dual uncertainties pre-sented as linkage between fuzzy and probability distributionTo handle this problem Guo and Huang [21] developed atwo-stage fuzzy chance-constraint programming for waterresources management In a similar fashion if adequatesamples of historic reservoir inflow date were obtained thendifferent reservoir inflow levels distributed as randomnessdistribution If the total reservoir release water cannot bemetchance-constraint programming can be applied to obtainthe expected net benefits [22] Nevertheless in the progressof RO alternations were made by decision makers withdifferent goals probabilities of different inflow levels couldnot exactly reflect randomness of inflows alone [23] Thusthe probabilities may own the fuzzy information based onthe decision makerrsquos judgment leading to fuzzy stochasticcharacteristic

In this paper an optimization model for deficient irri-gation water allocation under uncertainties was developed

The model is combined with ground-surface water joint-usemodel monthly reservoirs operation model and multicropirrigation model Fuzzy stochastic characteristic was repre-sented as fuzzy probability reflecting the risk of reservoirrelease water and necessity of dominance (ND) was consid-ered to illustrate it Reservoir water and groundwater wereintegrated as interactive resources for both irrigation districtsand ecological water Irrigation water was calculated throughJensen model under deficit irrigation condition

2 Model Formulation

The available water resources mainly come from the moun-tainous runoff in typical inland area of China According tothe characters of water resources of inland river system asshown in Figure 1 the watershed can be divided into twoparts runoff formation and disappear areas Accumulatedwater flows into mountainous river for water utilization inthe plain region Several reservoirs located mainly in themountain river and some of the water was used for irrigationbut the rest leaked in the piedmont plain as groundwaterrecharge Groundwater was pumped for agricultural irriga-tion once more and the surplus water needs to meet theecological water demand of downstream meanwhile Thewater resources transformation process leads to efficientwater development pattern and the water recycle is improvedHowever excessive development scale and unreasonable allo-cation of water resources can cause the overextraction ofgroundwater and deterioration of the environment

At present maximum utilization of water resources isvery important because of the shortage of water resourcesTo optimize water resources considering exploitation andreplenishment balance of groundwater for upstream anddownstream users the current study was used to simulatemultiperiod reservoirs operation and multicrop irrigationoptimization The objective is to maximize the total cropyields of the entire irrigation districts

In real-world practical problem we allow proper violationsThe constraint is considered as uncertain inputs A risk ofviolating may lead to higher benefit and more reasonablemanagement strategy It is often difficult to define the preciseboundary of the constraint due to the fuzzy decision Withreference to Guo and Huang [21] the constraint is shown bythe following

Assume that the fuzzy coefficients are considered trape-zoidal fuzzy sets Thus 1 = (1 1 1) = (08 10 12)indicating that the risk level of the reservoir storage isrepresented as fuzzy uncertainty When the lower bound ofthe coefficient is calculated reservoir storage water was at ahigh risk level

The calculation results of119884max are 809782 1121943 2697829226816 and 305746 kghm2 corresponding to themain crop

For reservoirs operation and irrigation managementcrop sensitivity to water deficit in irrigation interval is moreeffective than in growth stage Kipkorir and Raes [25] haveapplied Jensen model in irrigation interval Tsakiris [26]provides a method of estimating crop sensitivity to waterdeficiency at given time intervals However relevant study

is not reported in the study area The Jensen model is fittedin monthly interval in keeping up with the optimizationmodel as shown in Table 3 Effective rainfall in example yearis 57mm 0mm 62mm 93mm 333mm and 186mmcorresponding to the period from April to September

Annual nonagricultural water consumption in the modelis estimated through the irrigation district population live-stock and industrial production which are shown in Table 4

Parameter determination is important for the optimiza-tion results According to Comprehensive Planning of ShiyangRiver Basin (2007) utilization coefficient of irrigationwater ofriver irrigation area is 065 in Gulang irrigation district 058in Xiying irrigation district and 054 in Huangyang ZamuJinta and Donghe irrigation districts utilization coefficientof irrigation water of well irrigation area is 06

The water of each tributary flows together into ShiyangRiver minus evaporation and leakage loss River flow innorthern Wuwei Basin is low due to severe leakage Accord-ing to the investigation we take 0667 for the value of leakagerate

Complement between the surface water and under-ground water is obvious in the basin

Groundwater is not pumped in southern Wuwei BasinConsidering the underground aquifer as a whole ground-water reservoir sources of its supply are reservoir seepageriver seepage irrigation seepage and the lateral groundwaterinflow Under low rainfall and deep groundwater levelgroundwater is scarcely recharged by the rainfall accordingto Ma et al [27] Rainfall seepage is ignored in the model

The quantity of groundwater supply is calculated byrecharged coefficients Qu et al [28] estimate reservoir see-page and river seepage recharged coefficients as 085 andirrigation seepage as 08

Calculation results of Yao et al [29] show that thelateral groundwater inflow is 136 times 10

6m3 and the lateralgroundwater outflow is 254 times 106m3

To ensure reasonable water allocation between upstreamand downstream users according to local planning theavailable groundwater mining is controlled below 319 times

106m3 and minimum downstream water requirement is not

less than 218 times 106m3 under local planning requirements

4 Results Analysis

41 Multicrop Deficit Irrigation Management Deficit irriga-tion could result in the lower crop yields and reduce the netbenefits of the irrigation district However it is unavoidablebecause of water resources shortage The relation betweensensitivity of water deficit and crop water use efficiency wasstudied through the use of Jensen model

According to the calculation results of optimal decision-making model deficit irrigation proportions of the five cropsin the whole growth stage in river irrigation district are 061084 071 060 and 068 respectively and in well irrigationdistrict the values are 076 100 100 094 and 060 Itindicates that deficit irrigation should be adopted primarilyin river irrigation district

The optimization model can reach crop water require-ment in each irrigation interval As shown in Figure 4 thepriority deficit irrigation crops are melon and wheat inwell irrigation district ET is monthly optimal crop waterrequirements and ET

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

106m3 and the minimum overflow is from HuangyangReservoir with 021 times 106m3

43 Recharge Relationship between Surface Water and Under-ground Water Wuwei Basin is a typical inland river basinconjunctive use of surface water and underground water isnecessary to the arid irrigation area To be more efficientin the groundwater management managers should try torealize recharge relationship between surface water andundergroundwater anddetermine the available undergroundwater

In the model underground water is pumped in thewell irrigation district and supply from reservoir seepage

As a result of conjunctive use of surface water andgroundwater optimization model the groundwater use ineach well irrigation district can be listed in Figure 8 in orderto provide decision support for local irrigation managementThe major groundwater exploitation is from April to AugustGroundwater quantity balance is considered in the modelGroundwater exploitation is less than groundwater rechargeand annual exploitation does not exceed allowable amount ofgroundwater

44 Fuzzy Stochastic Uncertainty In real-world practicalproblem reservoir capacity is not considered as strictlydeterminate numbers and the failure of the constraint isallowed So the chance-constraint programming is consid-ered to analyse the uncertain constraint of the failure of thelimitation of the total reservoir capacity Proper violationunder different risks is studied in the model which providesselectable management strategies for the decision makersNecessity of dominance (ND) solutions under three 120572-cutlevels are calculated

As shown in Figure 9 the lower120572-cut level leads to highertotal crop yield It means that reservoir capacity constraint isloose under lower 120572-cut level and higher violation risk leadsto larger system benefit

In this model the right hand of the reservoir capacityconstraint is allowed to change under the given probabilities

5 Conclusions

In this study a multicrop irrigation water resources opti-mization model based on Jensen water production functionmodel for real-time reservoirs operation is proposed Theobjective of the model is to achieve the maximum benefit ofirrigation areas considering water stress level of crops andthe dynamic characteristic in the irrigation water resourcesoptimal allocation system The proposed model can pro-vide decision makers with different irrigation water optimalstaged allocation schedules (conjunctive of surface water andgroundwater) of upstream and downstream and agriculturaland nonagricultural water resources and so forth

Considering the uncertainties of irrigation waterresources management system fuzzy chance-constraintprogramming is introduced to the developed modelNecessity of dominance (ND) is adopted to solve fuzzy

chance-constraint program with the membership functionof both fuzzy parameters and probabilities being a triangularfuzzy membership function in this study

The developed model has been applied to Shiyang RiverBasin China to demonstrate the applicability of the devel-oped model The limited water resources supply that ismonthly runoff and effective precipitation the conjunctiveuse of surface water and groundwater and the ecologicalwater demand of downstream are considered As a resultthe irrigation water resources optimal allocation schedulesfor multiple crops of multiple periods of reservoirs operationunder different 120572-cut levels are obtained and analyzed Suchresults are valuable for local irrigation managements andagricultural producers Further study will focus on fieldmeasurement experiments of some parameters for exampleutilization coefficient of irrigation water seepage rechargedcoefficients and river leakage rate to make the developedmodel have more practical value

for reservoir management options Dos Santos Teixeira [5]developed a forward dynamic programming (FDP) modelfor real-time reservoirs operation of irrigation districtsGeorgiou and Papamichail [10] aimed to determine optimalirrigation allocation and cropping pattern for multicropsPrasad et al 2012 [11] developed a real-time reservoir releasedecision Among these studies crop yield was critical data fordecision objective There were two ways to determine cropyield (1) estimated by average production per unit area or percube water [12] and (2) calculated through water productionfunction [6 11 13]

However in real-world problem the source of watercould be groundwater and surface (reservoir) water Thenthe problem becomes more complicated to identify the mostefficient strategies for the whole system Reichard [14] applieda stochastic simulation optimization model for Santa Clara-Callcguas Basin surface water-groundwater managementVedula et al [13] optimized multicrop water allocation fora reservoir-canal-aquifer system considering intraseasonalperiod As discussed above previous researchers just con-sidered two issues among reservoirs operation irrigationdistrict ecological water requirement and surface water-groundwater conjunctive use To approach the real situationan integrated water allocation model related to these issueswas considered

Another difficulty in the whole systemwas the uncertain-ties including natural factors and human triggers Uncertain-ties in reservoir and irrigation system caused by river inflowsand crops requirement had been discussed from differentaspects [1 15ndash18] Karamouz and Vasiliadis [15] forecastedthe stream flows by Bayesian stochastic dynamic programing(BSDP) with different conditional probabilities Teegavarapuand Simonovic [16] handled the imprecise loss function forshort time reservoirs operation under fuzzy environmentSeifi and Hipel [19] presented a stochastic model to deal withthe stochasticity of inflows under multiple inflow scenariosChang et al [18] combined grey system with fuzzy stochasticdynamic programming Although uncertainty was consid-ered the reliability of satisfying (or risk of violating) cannotbe reflectedThen Azaiez et al [20] applied chance constraintto explain the potential benefits of groundwater saving

But these methods cannot handle dual uncertainties pre-sented as linkage between fuzzy and probability distributionTo handle this problem Guo and Huang [21] developed atwo-stage fuzzy chance-constraint programming for waterresources management In a similar fashion if adequatesamples of historic reservoir inflow date were obtained thendifferent reservoir inflow levels distributed as randomnessdistribution If the total reservoir release water cannot bemetchance-constraint programming can be applied to obtainthe expected net benefits [22] Nevertheless in the progressof RO alternations were made by decision makers withdifferent goals probabilities of different inflow levels couldnot exactly reflect randomness of inflows alone [23] Thusthe probabilities may own the fuzzy information based onthe decision makerrsquos judgment leading to fuzzy stochasticcharacteristic

In this paper an optimization model for deficient irri-gation water allocation under uncertainties was developed

The model is combined with ground-surface water joint-usemodel monthly reservoirs operation model and multicropirrigation model Fuzzy stochastic characteristic was repre-sented as fuzzy probability reflecting the risk of reservoirrelease water and necessity of dominance (ND) was consid-ered to illustrate it Reservoir water and groundwater wereintegrated as interactive resources for both irrigation districtsand ecological water Irrigation water was calculated throughJensen model under deficit irrigation condition

2 Model Formulation

The available water resources mainly come from the moun-tainous runoff in typical inland area of China According tothe characters of water resources of inland river system asshown in Figure 1 the watershed can be divided into twoparts runoff formation and disappear areas Accumulatedwater flows into mountainous river for water utilization inthe plain region Several reservoirs located mainly in themountain river and some of the water was used for irrigationbut the rest leaked in the piedmont plain as groundwaterrecharge Groundwater was pumped for agricultural irriga-tion once more and the surplus water needs to meet theecological water demand of downstream meanwhile Thewater resources transformation process leads to efficientwater development pattern and the water recycle is improvedHowever excessive development scale and unreasonable allo-cation of water resources can cause the overextraction ofgroundwater and deterioration of the environment

At present maximum utilization of water resources isvery important because of the shortage of water resourcesTo optimize water resources considering exploitation andreplenishment balance of groundwater for upstream anddownstream users the current study was used to simulatemultiperiod reservoirs operation and multicrop irrigationoptimization The objective is to maximize the total cropyields of the entire irrigation districts

In real-world practical problem we allow proper violationsThe constraint is considered as uncertain inputs A risk ofviolating may lead to higher benefit and more reasonablemanagement strategy It is often difficult to define the preciseboundary of the constraint due to the fuzzy decision Withreference to Guo and Huang [21] the constraint is shown bythe following

For reservoirs operation and irrigation managementcrop sensitivity to water deficit in irrigation interval is moreeffective than in growth stage Kipkorir and Raes [25] haveapplied Jensen model in irrigation interval Tsakiris [26]provides a method of estimating crop sensitivity to waterdeficiency at given time intervals However relevant study

Annual nonagricultural water consumption in the modelis estimated through the irrigation district population live-stock and industrial production which are shown in Table 4

Parameter determination is important for the optimiza-tion results According to Comprehensive Planning of ShiyangRiver Basin (2007) utilization coefficient of irrigationwater ofriver irrigation area is 065 in Gulang irrigation district 058in Xiying irrigation district and 054 in Huangyang ZamuJinta and Donghe irrigation districts utilization coefficientof irrigation water of well irrigation area is 06

The water of each tributary flows together into ShiyangRiver minus evaporation and leakage loss River flow innorthern Wuwei Basin is low due to severe leakage Accord-ing to the investigation we take 0667 for the value of leakagerate

According to the calculation results of optimal decision-making model deficit irrigation proportions of the five cropsin the whole growth stage in river irrigation district are 061084 071 060 and 068 respectively and in well irrigationdistrict the values are 076 100 100 094 and 060 Itindicates that deficit irrigation should be adopted primarilyin river irrigation district

The optimization model can reach crop water require-ment in each irrigation interval As shown in Figure 4 thepriority deficit irrigation crops are melon and wheat inwell irrigation district ET is monthly optimal crop waterrequirements and ET

Figure 6 Real-time reservoirs overflow

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

106m3 and the minimum overflow is from HuangyangReservoir with 021 times 106m3

43 Recharge Relationship between Surface Water and Under-ground Water Wuwei Basin is a typical inland river basinconjunctive use of surface water and underground water isnecessary to the arid irrigation area To be more efficientin the groundwater management managers should try torealize recharge relationship between surface water andundergroundwater anddetermine the available undergroundwater

In the model underground water is pumped in thewell irrigation district and supply from reservoir seepage

As a result of conjunctive use of surface water andgroundwater optimization model the groundwater use ineach well irrigation district can be listed in Figure 8 in orderto provide decision support for local irrigation managementThe major groundwater exploitation is from April to AugustGroundwater quantity balance is considered in the modelGroundwater exploitation is less than groundwater rechargeand annual exploitation does not exceed allowable amount ofgroundwater

44 Fuzzy Stochastic Uncertainty In real-world practicalproblem reservoir capacity is not considered as strictlydeterminate numbers and the failure of the constraint isallowed So the chance-constraint programming is consid-ered to analyse the uncertain constraint of the failure of thelimitation of the total reservoir capacity Proper violationunder different risks is studied in the model which providesselectable management strategies for the decision makersNecessity of dominance (ND) solutions under three 120572-cutlevels are calculated

As shown in Figure 9 the lower120572-cut level leads to highertotal crop yield It means that reservoir capacity constraint isloose under lower 120572-cut level and higher violation risk leadsto larger system benefit

In this model the right hand of the reservoir capacityconstraint is allowed to change under the given probabilities

5 Conclusions

In this study a multicrop irrigation water resources opti-mization model based on Jensen water production functionmodel for real-time reservoirs operation is proposed Theobjective of the model is to achieve the maximum benefit ofirrigation areas considering water stress level of crops andthe dynamic characteristic in the irrigation water resourcesoptimal allocation system The proposed model can pro-vide decision makers with different irrigation water optimalstaged allocation schedules (conjunctive of surface water andgroundwater) of upstream and downstream and agriculturaland nonagricultural water resources and so forth

Considering the uncertainties of irrigation waterresources management system fuzzy chance-constraintprogramming is introduced to the developed modelNecessity of dominance (ND) is adopted to solve fuzzy

chance-constraint program with the membership functionof both fuzzy parameters and probabilities being a triangularfuzzy membership function in this study

The developed model has been applied to Shiyang RiverBasin China to demonstrate the applicability of the devel-oped model The limited water resources supply that ismonthly runoff and effective precipitation the conjunctiveuse of surface water and groundwater and the ecologicalwater demand of downstream are considered As a resultthe irrigation water resources optimal allocation schedulesfor multiple crops of multiple periods of reservoirs operationunder different 120572-cut levels are obtained and analyzed Suchresults are valuable for local irrigation managements andagricultural producers Further study will focus on fieldmeasurement experiments of some parameters for exampleutilization coefficient of irrigation water seepage rechargedcoefficients and river leakage rate to make the developedmodel have more practical value

In real-world practical problem we allow proper violationsThe constraint is considered as uncertain inputs A risk ofviolating may lead to higher benefit and more reasonablemanagement strategy It is often difficult to define the preciseboundary of the constraint due to the fuzzy decision Withreference to Guo and Huang [21] the constraint is shown bythe following

Pr (119881119896119905le 119862119896) ge 120575119896 (6)

Then we have

where 119862119896(119901119896)

119896(119901119896) is given the cumulative distribution

function of 119862119896 and the probability of violating constraint119896(119901119896) 120575119896 is fuzzy tolerance measures (0 le 120575

Assume that the fuzzy coefficients are considered trape-zoidal fuzzy sets Thus 1 = (1 1 1) = (08 10 12)indicating that the risk level of the reservoir storage isrepresented as fuzzy uncertainty When the lower bound ofthe coefficient is calculated reservoir storage water was at ahigh risk level

119901119896= (119901119896 1199011198960 119901119896) = (1 minus 120575

For reservoirs operation and irrigation managementcrop sensitivity to water deficit in irrigation interval is moreeffective than in growth stage Kipkorir and Raes [25] haveapplied Jensen model in irrigation interval Tsakiris [26]provides a method of estimating crop sensitivity to waterdeficiency at given time intervals However relevant study

is not reported in the study area The Jensen model is fittedin monthly interval in keeping up with the optimizationmodel as shown in Table 3 Effective rainfall in example yearis 57mm 0mm 62mm 93mm 333mm and 186mmcorresponding to the period from April to September

Annual nonagricultural water consumption in the modelis estimated through the irrigation district population live-stock and industrial production which are shown in Table 4

Parameter determination is important for the optimiza-tion results According to Comprehensive Planning of ShiyangRiver Basin (2007) utilization coefficient of irrigationwater ofriver irrigation area is 065 in Gulang irrigation district 058in Xiying irrigation district and 054 in Huangyang ZamuJinta and Donghe irrigation districts utilization coefficientof irrigation water of well irrigation area is 06

The water of each tributary flows together into ShiyangRiver minus evaporation and leakage loss River flow innorthern Wuwei Basin is low due to severe leakage Accord-ing to the investigation we take 0667 for the value of leakagerate

Complement between the surface water and under-ground water is obvious in the basin

Groundwater is not pumped in southern Wuwei BasinConsidering the underground aquifer as a whole ground-water reservoir sources of its supply are reservoir seepageriver seepage irrigation seepage and the lateral groundwaterinflow Under low rainfall and deep groundwater levelgroundwater is scarcely recharged by the rainfall accordingto Ma et al [27] Rainfall seepage is ignored in the model

Calculation results of Yao et al [29] show that thelateral groundwater inflow is 136 times 10

To ensure reasonable water allocation between upstreamand downstream users according to local planning theavailable groundwater mining is controlled below 319 times

less than 218 times 106m3 under local planning requirements

4 Results Analysis

41 Multicrop Deficit Irrigation Management Deficit irriga-tion could result in the lower crop yields and reduce the netbenefits of the irrigation district However it is unavoidablebecause of water resources shortage The relation betweensensitivity of water deficit and crop water use efficiency wasstudied through the use of Jensen model

According to the calculation results of optimal decision-making model deficit irrigation proportions of the five cropsin the whole growth stage in river irrigation district are 061084 071 060 and 068 respectively and in well irrigationdistrict the values are 076 100 100 094 and 060 Itindicates that deficit irrigation should be adopted primarilyin river irrigation district

The optimization model can reach crop water require-ment in each irrigation interval As shown in Figure 4 thepriority deficit irrigation crops are melon and wheat inwell irrigation district ET is monthly optimal crop waterrequirements and ET

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

44 Fuzzy Stochastic Uncertainty In real-world practicalproblem reservoir capacity is not considered as strictlydeterminate numbers and the failure of the constraint isallowed So the chance-constraint programming is consid-ered to analyse the uncertain constraint of the failure of thelimitation of the total reservoir capacity Proper violationunder different risks is studied in the model which providesselectable management strategies for the decision makersNecessity of dominance (ND) solutions under three 120572-cutlevels are calculated

As shown in Figure 9 the lower120572-cut level leads to highertotal crop yield It means that reservoir capacity constraint isloose under lower 120572-cut level and higher violation risk leadsto larger system benefit

In this model the right hand of the reservoir capacityconstraint is allowed to change under the given probabilities

5 Conclusions

In this study a multicrop irrigation water resources opti-mization model based on Jensen water production functionmodel for real-time reservoirs operation is proposed Theobjective of the model is to achieve the maximum benefit ofirrigation areas considering water stress level of crops andthe dynamic characteristic in the irrigation water resourcesoptimal allocation system The proposed model can pro-vide decision makers with different irrigation water optimalstaged allocation schedules (conjunctive of surface water andgroundwater) of upstream and downstream and agriculturaland nonagricultural water resources and so forth

Considering the uncertainties of irrigation waterresources management system fuzzy chance-constraintprogramming is introduced to the developed modelNecessity of dominance (ND) is adopted to solve fuzzy

chance-constraint program with the membership functionof both fuzzy parameters and probabilities being a triangularfuzzy membership function in this study

The developed model has been applied to Shiyang RiverBasin China to demonstrate the applicability of the devel-oped model The limited water resources supply that ismonthly runoff and effective precipitation the conjunctiveuse of surface water and groundwater and the ecologicalwater demand of downstream are considered As a resultthe irrigation water resources optimal allocation schedulesfor multiple crops of multiple periods of reservoirs operationunder different 120572-cut levels are obtained and analyzed Suchresults are valuable for local irrigation managements andagricultural producers Further study will focus on fieldmeasurement experiments of some parameters for exampleutilization coefficient of irrigation water seepage rechargedcoefficients and river leakage rate to make the developedmodel have more practical value

For reservoirs operation and irrigation managementcrop sensitivity to water deficit in irrigation interval is moreeffective than in growth stage Kipkorir and Raes [25] haveapplied Jensen model in irrigation interval Tsakiris [26]provides a method of estimating crop sensitivity to waterdeficiency at given time intervals However relevant study

is not reported in the study area The Jensen model is fittedin monthly interval in keeping up with the optimizationmodel as shown in Table 3 Effective rainfall in example yearis 57mm 0mm 62mm 93mm 333mm and 186mmcorresponding to the period from April to September

Annual nonagricultural water consumption in the modelis estimated through the irrigation district population live-stock and industrial production which are shown in Table 4

Parameter determination is important for the optimiza-tion results According to Comprehensive Planning of ShiyangRiver Basin (2007) utilization coefficient of irrigationwater ofriver irrigation area is 065 in Gulang irrigation district 058in Xiying irrigation district and 054 in Huangyang ZamuJinta and Donghe irrigation districts utilization coefficientof irrigation water of well irrigation area is 06

The water of each tributary flows together into ShiyangRiver minus evaporation and leakage loss River flow innorthern Wuwei Basin is low due to severe leakage Accord-ing to the investigation we take 0667 for the value of leakagerate

Complement between the surface water and under-ground water is obvious in the basin

Groundwater is not pumped in southern Wuwei BasinConsidering the underground aquifer as a whole ground-water reservoir sources of its supply are reservoir seepageriver seepage irrigation seepage and the lateral groundwaterinflow Under low rainfall and deep groundwater levelgroundwater is scarcely recharged by the rainfall accordingto Ma et al [27] Rainfall seepage is ignored in the model

The quantity of groundwater supply is calculated byrecharged coefficients Qu et al [28] estimate reservoir see-page and river seepage recharged coefficients as 085 andirrigation seepage as 08

Calculation results of Yao et al [29] show that thelateral groundwater inflow is 136 times 10

To ensure reasonable water allocation between upstreamand downstream users according to local planning theavailable groundwater mining is controlled below 319 times

106m3 and minimum downstream water requirement is not

less than 218 times 106m3 under local planning requirements

4 Results Analysis

41 Multicrop Deficit Irrigation Management Deficit irriga-tion could result in the lower crop yields and reduce the netbenefits of the irrigation district However it is unavoidablebecause of water resources shortage The relation betweensensitivity of water deficit and crop water use efficiency wasstudied through the use of Jensen model

According to the calculation results of optimal decision-making model deficit irrigation proportions of the five cropsin the whole growth stage in river irrigation district are 061084 071 060 and 068 respectively and in well irrigationdistrict the values are 076 100 100 094 and 060 Itindicates that deficit irrigation should be adopted primarilyin river irrigation district

The optimization model can reach crop water require-ment in each irrigation interval As shown in Figure 4 thepriority deficit irrigation crops are melon and wheat inwell irrigation district ET is monthly optimal crop waterrequirements and ET

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

106m3 and the minimum overflow is from HuangyangReservoir with 021 times 106m3

43 Recharge Relationship between Surface Water and Under-ground Water Wuwei Basin is a typical inland river basinconjunctive use of surface water and underground water isnecessary to the arid irrigation area To be more efficientin the groundwater management managers should try torealize recharge relationship between surface water andundergroundwater anddetermine the available undergroundwater

In the model underground water is pumped in thewell irrigation district and supply from reservoir seepage

As a result of conjunctive use of surface water andgroundwater optimization model the groundwater use ineach well irrigation district can be listed in Figure 8 in orderto provide decision support for local irrigation managementThe major groundwater exploitation is from April to AugustGroundwater quantity balance is considered in the modelGroundwater exploitation is less than groundwater rechargeand annual exploitation does not exceed allowable amount ofgroundwater

44 Fuzzy Stochastic Uncertainty In real-world practicalproblem reservoir capacity is not considered as strictlydeterminate numbers and the failure of the constraint isallowed So the chance-constraint programming is consid-ered to analyse the uncertain constraint of the failure of thelimitation of the total reservoir capacity Proper violationunder different risks is studied in the model which providesselectable management strategies for the decision makersNecessity of dominance (ND) solutions under three 120572-cutlevels are calculated

As shown in Figure 9 the lower120572-cut level leads to highertotal crop yield It means that reservoir capacity constraint isloose under lower 120572-cut level and higher violation risk leadsto larger system benefit

In this model the right hand of the reservoir capacityconstraint is allowed to change under the given probabilities

5 Conclusions

In this study a multicrop irrigation water resources opti-mization model based on Jensen water production functionmodel for real-time reservoirs operation is proposed Theobjective of the model is to achieve the maximum benefit ofirrigation areas considering water stress level of crops andthe dynamic characteristic in the irrigation water resourcesoptimal allocation system The proposed model can pro-vide decision makers with different irrigation water optimalstaged allocation schedules (conjunctive of surface water andgroundwater) of upstream and downstream and agriculturaland nonagricultural water resources and so forth

Considering the uncertainties of irrigation waterresources management system fuzzy chance-constraintprogramming is introduced to the developed modelNecessity of dominance (ND) is adopted to solve fuzzy

chance-constraint program with the membership functionof both fuzzy parameters and probabilities being a triangularfuzzy membership function in this study

The developed model has been applied to Shiyang RiverBasin China to demonstrate the applicability of the devel-oped model The limited water resources supply that ismonthly runoff and effective precipitation the conjunctiveuse of surface water and groundwater and the ecologicalwater demand of downstream are considered As a resultthe irrigation water resources optimal allocation schedulesfor multiple crops of multiple periods of reservoirs operationunder different 120572-cut levels are obtained and analyzed Suchresults are valuable for local irrigation managements andagricultural producers Further study will focus on fieldmeasurement experiments of some parameters for exampleutilization coefficient of irrigation water seepage rechargedcoefficients and river leakage rate to make the developedmodel have more practical value

For reservoirs operation and irrigation managementcrop sensitivity to water deficit in irrigation interval is moreeffective than in growth stage Kipkorir and Raes [25] haveapplied Jensen model in irrigation interval Tsakiris [26]provides a method of estimating crop sensitivity to waterdeficiency at given time intervals However relevant study

is not reported in the study area The Jensen model is fittedin monthly interval in keeping up with the optimizationmodel as shown in Table 3 Effective rainfall in example yearis 57mm 0mm 62mm 93mm 333mm and 186mmcorresponding to the period from April to September

Annual nonagricultural water consumption in the modelis estimated through the irrigation district population live-stock and industrial production which are shown in Table 4

Parameter determination is important for the optimiza-tion results According to Comprehensive Planning of ShiyangRiver Basin (2007) utilization coefficient of irrigationwater ofriver irrigation area is 065 in Gulang irrigation district 058in Xiying irrigation district and 054 in Huangyang ZamuJinta and Donghe irrigation districts utilization coefficientof irrigation water of well irrigation area is 06

The water of each tributary flows together into ShiyangRiver minus evaporation and leakage loss River flow innorthern Wuwei Basin is low due to severe leakage Accord-ing to the investigation we take 0667 for the value of leakagerate

Complement between the surface water and under-ground water is obvious in the basin

Groundwater is not pumped in southern Wuwei BasinConsidering the underground aquifer as a whole ground-water reservoir sources of its supply are reservoir seepageriver seepage irrigation seepage and the lateral groundwaterinflow Under low rainfall and deep groundwater levelgroundwater is scarcely recharged by the rainfall accordingto Ma et al [27] Rainfall seepage is ignored in the model

Calculation results of Yao et al [29] show that thelateral groundwater inflow is 136 times 10

4 Results Analysis

41 Multicrop Deficit Irrigation Management Deficit irriga-tion could result in the lower crop yields and reduce the netbenefits of the irrigation district However it is unavoidablebecause of water resources shortage The relation betweensensitivity of water deficit and crop water use efficiency wasstudied through the use of Jensen model

According to the calculation results of optimal decision-making model deficit irrigation proportions of the five cropsin the whole growth stage in river irrigation district are 061084 071 060 and 068 respectively and in well irrigationdistrict the values are 076 100 100 094 and 060 Itindicates that deficit irrigation should be adopted primarilyin river irrigation district

The optimization model can reach crop water require-ment in each irrigation interval As shown in Figure 4 thepriority deficit irrigation crops are melon and wheat inwell irrigation district ET is monthly optimal crop waterrequirements and ET

119898is monthly potential crop water

requirements The results can provide multiperiod deficitirrigation management for the agricultural producers

Figure 6 Real-time reservoirs overflow

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

106m3 and the minimum overflow is from HuangyangReservoir with 021 times 106m3

43 Recharge Relationship between Surface Water and Under-ground Water Wuwei Basin is a typical inland river basinconjunctive use of surface water and underground water isnecessary to the arid irrigation area To be more efficientin the groundwater management managers should try torealize recharge relationship between surface water andundergroundwater anddetermine the available undergroundwater

5 Conclusions

In this study a multicrop irrigation water resources opti-mization model based on Jensen water production functionmodel for real-time reservoirs operation is proposed Theobjective of the model is to achieve the maximum benefit ofirrigation areas considering water stress level of crops andthe dynamic characteristic in the irrigation water resourcesoptimal allocation system The proposed model can pro-vide decision makers with different irrigation water optimalstaged allocation schedules (conjunctive of surface water andgroundwater) of upstream and downstream and agriculturaland nonagricultural water resources and so forth

Considering the uncertainties of irrigation waterresources management system fuzzy chance-constraintprogramming is introduced to the developed modelNecessity of dominance (ND) is adopted to solve fuzzy

chance-constraint program with the membership functionof both fuzzy parameters and probabilities being a triangularfuzzy membership function in this study

The developed model has been applied to Shiyang RiverBasin China to demonstrate the applicability of the devel-oped model The limited water resources supply that ismonthly runoff and effective precipitation the conjunctiveuse of surface water and groundwater and the ecologicalwater demand of downstream are considered As a resultthe irrigation water resources optimal allocation schedulesfor multiple crops of multiple periods of reservoirs operationunder different 120572-cut levels are obtained and analyzed Suchresults are valuable for local irrigation managements andagricultural producers Further study will focus on fieldmeasurement experiments of some parameters for exampleutilization coefficient of irrigation water seepage rechargedcoefficients and river leakage rate to make the developedmodel have more practical value

The calculation results of119884max are 809782 1121943 2697829226816 and 305746 kghm2 corresponding to themain crop

For reservoirs operation and irrigation managementcrop sensitivity to water deficit in irrigation interval is moreeffective than in growth stage Kipkorir and Raes [25] haveapplied Jensen model in irrigation interval Tsakiris [26]provides a method of estimating crop sensitivity to waterdeficiency at given time intervals However relevant study

is not reported in the study area The Jensen model is fittedin monthly interval in keeping up with the optimizationmodel as shown in Table 3 Effective rainfall in example yearis 57mm 0mm 62mm 93mm 333mm and 186mmcorresponding to the period from April to September

Annual nonagricultural water consumption in the modelis estimated through the irrigation district population live-stock and industrial production which are shown in Table 4

Parameter determination is important for the optimiza-tion results According to Comprehensive Planning of ShiyangRiver Basin (2007) utilization coefficient of irrigationwater ofriver irrigation area is 065 in Gulang irrigation district 058in Xiying irrigation district and 054 in Huangyang ZamuJinta and Donghe irrigation districts utilization coefficientof irrigation water of well irrigation area is 06

The water of each tributary flows together into ShiyangRiver minus evaporation and leakage loss River flow innorthern Wuwei Basin is low due to severe leakage Accord-ing to the investigation we take 0667 for the value of leakagerate

Complement between the surface water and under-ground water is obvious in the basin

Groundwater is not pumped in southern Wuwei BasinConsidering the underground aquifer as a whole ground-water reservoir sources of its supply are reservoir seepageriver seepage irrigation seepage and the lateral groundwaterinflow Under low rainfall and deep groundwater levelgroundwater is scarcely recharged by the rainfall accordingto Ma et al [27] Rainfall seepage is ignored in the model

The quantity of groundwater supply is calculated byrecharged coefficients Qu et al [28] estimate reservoir see-page and river seepage recharged coefficients as 085 andirrigation seepage as 08

Calculation results of Yao et al [29] show that thelateral groundwater inflow is 136 times 10

6m3 and the lateralgroundwater outflow is 254 times 106m3

To ensure reasonable water allocation between upstreamand downstream users according to local planning theavailable groundwater mining is controlled below 319 times

106m3 and minimum downstream water requirement is not

less than 218 times 106m3 under local planning requirements

4 Results Analysis

41 Multicrop Deficit Irrigation Management Deficit irriga-tion could result in the lower crop yields and reduce the netbenefits of the irrigation district However it is unavoidablebecause of water resources shortage The relation betweensensitivity of water deficit and crop water use efficiency wasstudied through the use of Jensen model

According to the calculation results of optimal decision-making model deficit irrigation proportions of the five cropsin the whole growth stage in river irrigation district are 061084 071 060 and 068 respectively and in well irrigationdistrict the values are 076 100 100 094 and 060 Itindicates that deficit irrigation should be adopted primarilyin river irrigation district

The optimization model can reach crop water require-ment in each irrigation interval As shown in Figure 4 thepriority deficit irrigation crops are melon and wheat inwell irrigation district ET is monthly optimal crop waterrequirements and ET

119898is monthly potential crop water

requirements The results can provide multiperiod deficitirrigation management for the agricultural producers

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

106m3 and the minimum overflow is from HuangyangReservoir with 021 times 106m3

43 Recharge Relationship between Surface Water and Under-ground Water Wuwei Basin is a typical inland river basinconjunctive use of surface water and underground water isnecessary to the arid irrigation area To be more efficientin the groundwater management managers should try torealize recharge relationship between surface water andundergroundwater anddetermine the available undergroundwater

In the model underground water is pumped in thewell irrigation district and supply from reservoir seepage

The quantity of groundwater supply is calculated byrecharged coefficients Qu et al [28] estimate reservoir see-page and river seepage recharged coefficients as 085 andirrigation seepage as 08

Calculation results of Yao et al [29] show that thelateral groundwater inflow is 136 times 10

6m3 and the lateralgroundwater outflow is 254 times 106m3

To ensure reasonable water allocation between upstreamand downstream users according to local planning theavailable groundwater mining is controlled below 319 times

106m3 and minimum downstream water requirement is not

less than 218 times 106m3 under local planning requirements

4 Results Analysis

41 Multicrop Deficit Irrigation Management Deficit irriga-tion could result in the lower crop yields and reduce the netbenefits of the irrigation district However it is unavoidablebecause of water resources shortage The relation betweensensitivity of water deficit and crop water use efficiency wasstudied through the use of Jensen model

According to the calculation results of optimal decision-making model deficit irrigation proportions of the five cropsin the whole growth stage in river irrigation district are 061084 071 060 and 068 respectively and in well irrigationdistrict the values are 076 100 100 094 and 060 Itindicates that deficit irrigation should be adopted primarilyin river irrigation district

The optimization model can reach crop water require-ment in each irrigation interval As shown in Figure 4 thepriority deficit irrigation crops are melon and wheat inwell irrigation district ET is monthly optimal crop waterrequirements and ET

119898is monthly potential crop water

requirements The results can provide multiperiod deficitirrigation management for the agricultural producers

Figure 6 Real-time reservoirs overflow

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

106m3 and the minimum overflow is from HuangyangReservoir with 021 times 106m3

43 Recharge Relationship between Surface Water and Under-ground Water Wuwei Basin is a typical inland river basinconjunctive use of surface water and underground water isnecessary to the arid irrigation area To be more efficientin the groundwater management managers should try torealize recharge relationship between surface water andundergroundwater anddetermine the available undergroundwater

In the model underground water is pumped in thewell irrigation district and supply from reservoir seepage

As a result of conjunctive use of surface water andgroundwater optimization model the groundwater use ineach well irrigation district can be listed in Figure 8 in orderto provide decision support for local irrigation managementThe major groundwater exploitation is from April to AugustGroundwater quantity balance is considered in the modelGroundwater exploitation is less than groundwater rechargeand annual exploitation does not exceed allowable amount ofgroundwater

44 Fuzzy Stochastic Uncertainty In real-world practicalproblem reservoir capacity is not considered as strictlydeterminate numbers and the failure of the constraint isallowed So the chance-constraint programming is consid-ered to analyse the uncertain constraint of the failure of thelimitation of the total reservoir capacity Proper violationunder different risks is studied in the model which providesselectable management strategies for the decision makersNecessity of dominance (ND) solutions under three 120572-cutlevels are calculated

As shown in Figure 9 the lower120572-cut level leads to highertotal crop yield It means that reservoir capacity constraint isloose under lower 120572-cut level and higher violation risk leadsto larger system benefit

In this model the right hand of the reservoir capacityconstraint is allowed to change under the given probabilities

In this study a multicrop irrigation water resources opti-mization model based on Jensen water production functionmodel for real-time reservoirs operation is proposed Theobjective of the model is to achieve the maximum benefit ofirrigation areas considering water stress level of crops andthe dynamic characteristic in the irrigation water resourcesoptimal allocation system The proposed model can pro-vide decision makers with different irrigation water optimalstaged allocation schedules (conjunctive of surface water andgroundwater) of upstream and downstream and agriculturaland nonagricultural water resources and so forth

Considering the uncertainties of irrigation waterresources management system fuzzy chance-constraintprogramming is introduced to the developed modelNecessity of dominance (ND) is adopted to solve fuzzy

chance-constraint program with the membership functionof both fuzzy parameters and probabilities being a triangularfuzzy membership function in this study

The developed model has been applied to Shiyang RiverBasin China to demonstrate the applicability of the devel-oped model The limited water resources supply that ismonthly runoff and effective precipitation the conjunctiveuse of surface water and groundwater and the ecologicalwater demand of downstream are considered As a resultthe irrigation water resources optimal allocation schedulesfor multiple crops of multiple periods of reservoirs operationunder different 120572-cut levels are obtained and analyzed Suchresults are valuable for local irrigation managements andagricultural producers Further study will focus on fieldmeasurement experiments of some parameters for exampleutilization coefficient of irrigation water seepage rechargedcoefficients and river leakage rate to make the developedmodel have more practical value

Figure 6 Real-time reservoirs overflow

Total annual runoff of the six rivers is 11459 times 106m3 andreal-time multireservoirs release can be shown in Figure 5Agricultural water consumption takes most rates in waterconsumption structureThemaximumwater demand occursin June Water withdrawal is closely related to irrigation areaof each reservoir water-supply zone The total annual waterwithdrawal from reservoir is 66574 times 106m3

To avoid the occurrence of shortage and overflow atthe same time period overflow would not happen unlessthe reservoir is full storage Figure 6 shows the real-timereservoirs overflow Overflow occurred in the period fromAugust to October when irrigation water demand decreasedand monthly runoff was still high The annual reservoirsoverflow is 15451 times 106m3 It indicates that mountainousrunoff is utilized by river irrigation district The maximumannual overflow is from Xiying Reservoir with 12424 times

106m3 and the minimum overflow is from HuangyangReservoir with 021 times 106m3

43 Recharge Relationship between Surface Water and Under-ground Water Wuwei Basin is a typical inland river basinconjunctive use of surface water and underground water isnecessary to the arid irrigation area To be more efficientin the groundwater management managers should try torealize recharge relationship between surface water andundergroundwater anddetermine the available undergroundwater

In the model underground water is pumped in thewell irrigation district and supply from reservoir seepage

river seepage irrigation seepage and the lateral groundwaterinflow in the southern basin Figure 7 shows the monthlygroundwater recharge of the basin

As a result of conjunctive use of surface water andgroundwater optimization model the groundwater use ineach well irrigation district can be listed in Figure 8 in orderto provide decision support for local irrigation managementThe major groundwater exploitation is from April to AugustGroundwater quantity balance is considered in the modelGroundwater exploitation is less than groundwater rechargeand annual exploitation does not exceed allowable amount ofgroundwater

44 Fuzzy Stochastic Uncertainty In real-world practicalproblem reservoir capacity is not considered as strictlydeterminate numbers and the failure of the constraint isallowed So the chance-constraint programming is consid-ered to analyse the uncertain constraint of the failure of thelimitation of the total reservoir capacity Proper violationunder different risks is studied in the model which providesselectable management strategies for the decision makersNecessity of dominance (ND) solutions under three 120572-cutlevels are calculated

As shown in Figure 9 the lower120572-cut level leads to highertotal crop yield It means that reservoir capacity constraint isloose under lower 120572-cut level and higher violation risk leadsto larger system benefit

In this model the right hand of the reservoir capacityconstraint is allowed to change under the given probabilities

5 Conclusions

In this study a multicrop irrigation water resources opti-mization model based on Jensen water production functionmodel for real-time reservoirs operation is proposed Theobjective of the model is to achieve the maximum benefit ofirrigation areas considering water stress level of crops andthe dynamic characteristic in the irrigation water resourcesoptimal allocation system The proposed model can pro-vide decision makers with different irrigation water optimalstaged allocation schedules (conjunctive of surface water andgroundwater) of upstream and downstream and agriculturaland nonagricultural water resources and so forth

Considering the uncertainties of irrigation waterresources management system fuzzy chance-constraintprogramming is introduced to the developed modelNecessity of dominance (ND) is adopted to solve fuzzy

chance-constraint program with the membership functionof both fuzzy parameters and probabilities being a triangularfuzzy membership function in this study

The developed model has been applied to Shiyang RiverBasin China to demonstrate the applicability of the devel-oped model The limited water resources supply that ismonthly runoff and effective precipitation the conjunctiveuse of surface water and groundwater and the ecologicalwater demand of downstream are considered As a resultthe irrigation water resources optimal allocation schedulesfor multiple crops of multiple periods of reservoirs operationunder different 120572-cut levels are obtained and analyzed Suchresults are valuable for local irrigation managements andagricultural producers Further study will focus on fieldmeasurement experiments of some parameters for exampleutilization coefficient of irrigation water seepage rechargedcoefficients and river leakage rate to make the developedmodel have more practical value
