Abstract

Constant decline of freshwater reserve poses a major challenge for coastal agricultural systems. The present study focuses on the integrated land and water resources management framework under operational and climatic uncertainties to achieve sustainable agricultural production in a tropical coastal river basin. To capture the operational and climatic uncertainties, Grey Linear Programming (GLP) and Acceptability Constrained Linear Programming (ACLP) optimization models were developed. GLP can consider both climatic and operational uncertainties. However, ACLP can accommodate operational uncertainty only. Groundwater model was coupled within the optimization models (GLP and ACLP) by a grey response matrix. The SWAT estimated recharge rates were utilized in the MODFLOW model as the groundwater flux. The calibrated (R2 = 0.80) and validated (R2 = 0.84) groundwater flow simulation model was utilized to generate the grey response matrix. The eight plausible scenarios were tested for GLP (Scenarios I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII) and ACLP (Scenarios Ia, IIa, IIIa, Iva, Va, VIa, VIIa, VIIIa) with groundwater table fluctuation (GWTF) method and grey response matrix as drawdown constraint. A reduction in net annual return was observed in Scenarios III and IV (with grey response matrix) in comparison to Scenarios I and II (with groundwater table fluctuation) under any change in crop yield. Decrease was more prominent for Rabi (winter) season compared to Kharif (monsoon) season. Futuristic Scenarios (V, VI, VII, VIII) considering crop yield reduction showed a possible change required in cropping pattern (specifically rice area reduction in Kharif Season). ACLP model results showed similar trends. Results suggest that the GWTF method overestimates the groundwater availability compared to the physically based simulation model. Obtained land and water resources management plans were cross-validated for the safe yield limit using MODFLOW simulation model.
