Abstract

Linear Programming is applied to the case study of Khadakwasla Complex reservoir project, Maharashtra, India for the objective of agricultural production. Khadakwasla Complex project consists of Khadakwasla Irrigation Project, Janai- Sirsai Lift Irrigation Scheme (JSLIS), and Purandar Lift Irrigation Scheme (PLIS). Seventy five percent dependable inflow scenario (scenario I) is considered to understand various facets of irrigation planning. Continuity equation, land and water requirements of crops, minimum and maximum reservoir storages, canal capacity, command area restrictions and groundwater availability are the considered constraints. Effect of water scarcity is also considered in the form of ninety percent dependable inflow scenario (scenario II). It is observed that the annual crop production in scenario I, from Khadakwasla command is 1465991 ton, from JSLIS command is 240863.69 ton and from PLIS command is 660652.62 ton. The production reduces drastically in scenario II and it is 1100080 ton from Khadakwasla command, 183699.5 ton from JSLIS command and 154466.3 ton from PLIS command. Overall annual crop production decreases by 929241 ton, owing to scarcity of water available for irrigation in drought situation. It is concluded that output is sensitive to the changes in the inflow levels.
