Abstract:
This study presents the application of a
Genetic Algorithm (GA) model developed for
computation of the optimal supply hydrographs in
on demand irrigation systems aimed at the optimal
regulation of the upstream storage reservoirs.
The model was applied to an Italian irrigation scheme whe
re the optimal inflows to five reservoirs
were computed. The obtained result is characteris
ed by two inflow values. In addition, the maximum
discharge supplied by the upstream dam was redu
ced by 10.65 %, and the maximum violation of
reservoirs water levels was reduced to acceptable values.
The optimal solution guarantees to satisfy the daily demand
requirements, to minimize the maximum
discharge delivered by the upstream dam, and to avoi
d the reservoirs emptiness. In addition, the on-
demand delivery schedule according to the actual
demand hydrograph recorded downstream the
reservoirs may be applied also during the peak period
