“…The results showed that progressive development of groundwater would assist in the reclamation of waterlogged saline lands and increase farm income. Later, Afzal et al (1992) developed an LP model for the optimal allocation of different quality waters by alternative irrigation methods rather than by blending, in order to maximize the net return. They used the model in an area of Pakistan where groundwater quality was poor and good quality canal water was limited.…”

Irrigation is essential for achieving food security to the burgeoning global population but unplanned and injudicious expansion of irrigated areas causes waterlogging and salinization problems. Under this backdrop, groundwater resources management is a critical issue for fulfilling the increasing water demand for agricultural, industrial, and domestic uses. Various simulation and optimization approaches were used to solve the groundwater management problems. This paper presents a review of the individual and combined applications of simulation and optimization modeling for the management of groundwater-resource problems associated with irrigated agriculture. The study revealed that the combined use of simulation-optimization modeling is very suitable for achieving an optimal solution for groundwater-resource problems, even with a large number of variables. Independent model tools were used to solve the problems of uncertainty analysis and parameter estimation in groundwater modelling studies. Artificial neural networks were used to minimize the problem of computational complexity. The incorporation of socioeconomic aspects into the groundwater management modeling would be an important development in future studies.

“…Easwaramoorthy et al (1989) suggested optimal cropping pattern for the lower Bhawani project using an LP model. An LP model was developed by Afzal et al (1992) to optimize the use of different quality waters by alternative irrigations rather than by blending in order to maximize the net return. The model was applied in an area of Pakistan where groundwater quality was poor and good quality canal water was limited.…”

“…In 1962, Mass became the first one to apply simulation technology to economic index of river basin exploitation (Mass, 1962), followed by a period with water quantity as the single index for allocation (Marks, 1971; Haimes and Hall, 1974). Afterwards, the coordinated development of social economy and ecological environment was attached to the study of water resources deployment, together with the indexes of water quantity and quality (Afzal and Noble, 1992;Watkins et al, 1995;Fleming et al, 1995;Lall, 1995;Allan, 1999). Ultimately, social justice and market regulation were paid attention to and market-oriented method was adopted, that is to solve the problem of water resources deployment with water rights and emission rights (Zhang et al, 1982;Ioslovich and Gutman, 2001; Erson and Rafael, 2002).…”

Abstract. The reasonable deployment of water resources can reduce resources consumption, increase the output of resources and thus ensure a sustainable economic development. The Pingshui River Basin in Jiangxi Province of China with developed economy but seriously lacking in water, was chosen as the study area and the dualistic distributed hydrological model of this region was established. Then, the water resources allocation objective, basic principles, river water operation rules and priority levels for all water consumers were fixed. Also, the objective function and constraint conditions were established, and forecast the water demand from various industries. Next, the optimal deployment of water resources in Pingshui River Basin was achieved through controlling variables including the water conservancy project operation rules, the channel discharge capacity, priority rules for water consumers and simulating the transport and transformation and interaction process under the natural and artificial dual coupling conditions. The deployment results show that there is seasonal and locality water shortage in Pingshui River Basin. Finally, based on the optimal water resources deployment results, utilization and exploitation status, specific countermeasures for water resources tapping and saving were proposed to increase the output of water resources and reduce its consumption.
