This paper applies two-stage stochastic quadratic programming to optimize conjunctive use operations of groundwater pump- ing and artificial recharge with farmer's expected revenue and cropping decisions. The two-stage programming approach allows modeling of water and permanent crop production decisions, with recourse for uncertain conditions of hydrology, annual crops, and irrigation technology decisions. Results indicate potential gains in expected net benefits and reduction in income…

Hydroeconomic optimization of integrated water management and transfers under stochastic surface water supply

Efficient reallocation and conjunctive operation of existing water supplies is gaining importance as demands grow, competitions among users intensify, and new supplies become more costly. This paper…

A Nonlinear Inexact Two-Stage Management Model for Agricultural Water Allocation under Uncertainty Based on the Heihe River Water Diversion Plan

The results show that the entire study system can arrive at a minimum marginal utility and obtain maximum system benefits when optimal irrigation water allocations are the deterministic values, and can provide the basis of decision-making for agricultural water allocation under uncertainty.

Multistage Stochastic Programming to Support Water Allocation Decision-Making Process in Agriculture: A Literature Review

: Water represents a crucial resource to support agricultural production and the world’s rising food needs. However, the intervention of various factors intricates the proper water allocation, adding…

Hydroeconomic Models as Decision Support Tools for Conjunctive Management of Surface and Groundwater

Conjunctive use (CU) of surface and groundwater storage and supplies is essential for integrated water management. It is also a key strategy for supporting groundwater-dependent ecosystems, and for…

Maximizing on-farm groundwater recharge with surface reservoir releases: a planning approach and case study in California, USA

A hydro-economic approach for planning on-farm managed aquifer recharge is developed and demonstrated for two contiguous sub-basins in California’s Central Valley, USA. The amount and timing of water…
