OPTIMAL CROPPING PATTERN -A CASE STUDY OF TAWA IRRIGATION PROJECT

Abstract

Optimization techniques based on mathematical programming algorithms are powerful tools $ capable of provid-ing solutions to the problems which engineers and planners face while planning and remodelling of complex water resources systems. The scope of optimal solutions cover well beyond the conventional method of design targets-. The client is facing operational failures arr1- inturn the national perspective planning get disturbed. When the farmers are not guided by the operational techniques leading to a financially viable project, dissatisfaction and abandonment is the ultimate result-. The farmers expect 75 percent success in agriculture.
