Applications of Genetic Algorithm in Water Resources Management and Optimization

Abstract

It is the need of current scenario that water resource is to be retained and maintained. Different types of models have been applied for the optimization of Water Resource Management. Genetic Algorithm is one of the evolutionary algorithms, those are the part of Soft Computing, have been applied and different researches have done for the use of genetic algorithm in the water resource optimization. This paper is to review the different applications applied so far, their usefulness and also for their scope in the development of future models for the water resource planning and optimization.
