Abstract

The variability of flow regimes in on demand pressurized irrigation systems leads to uncertainty in head at the nodes affecting the system performance, and thus it should be considered when designing and/or rehabilitating water distribution systems. Based on these considerations a new approach for the optimization of on demand pressurized irrigation systems is presented combining the minimization of cost with the maximization of reliability taking into account the stochastic variability of the flows into each section of the network. The new model, Clément and the cumulated random generated discharges model (FAO model) were applied to three pressurized irrigation networks of different dimensions (large, medium and small) operating on demand in Southern Italy. The optimization algorithm used in all the cases is the Labye iterative discontinuous method, a formulation of the dynamic programming. The results of the different models were compared showing that the cost of the optimal network calculated using the new model was reduced by more than 20%, without any significant decrease of the system reliability or reduction of the network capacity.
