Abstract

The paper describes an Irrigation Feasibility Study carried out for a Developing Country. The area considered comprised some 1,000,000 acres of land in Burma and the study was undertaken for the Burmese Government under the auspices of the United Nations. The solution technique used was Mixed Integer Programming, there being approximately 750 continuous variables, 50 integer variables and 250 constraints. The study is of particular interest in that the problem was solved both by conventional methods and by Operational Research methods independently. Therefore, a complete comparison of the relative merits of both approaches exists and is discussed here.
