Abstract

The scope and feasibility of auxiliary storage reservoir in the outlet command of a flow based minor irrigation project was studied to overcome the inadequate irrigation water availability during the dry season. A multi objective optimization model was developed to determine the optimal size of auxiliary storage reservoir and optimal cropping pattern. Assuming that about 50% main reservoir capacity water will be available for irrigating dry season crops and fixing the first priority level of the objective function as maximization of net seasonal benefit and maximization of cropped area, the optimal surface area for auxiliary storage reservoir as the percentage of the command area was obtained as 17.40% and 10.92%, respectively. The performance of the minor irrigation project significantly increased due to provision of auxiliary storage reservoir. The economic analysis also revealed that the intervention is economically viable. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009
