Abstract
AbstractWith an increase of population, agriculture, and industry, the demand for water has increased gradually across the world. Currently, agricultural crops have been damaged by drought severity due to climate changes that contribute to water scarcity. Policy/decision makers need to be prepared for reducing damages to crops due to severe droughts. For this reason, a genetic algorithm (GA)-based irrigation water management model (IWMM) adapting a hydrological model [soil water atmosphere plant (SWAP)] was developed. This approach is linked with a noisy Monte Carlo genetic algorithm (NMCGA) that can estimate effective soil hydraulic properties from in situ/remotely sensed (RS) soil moisture data. Based on the estimated soil parameters, vegetation information, and historical weather forcings, long-term root zone soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) dynamics were reproduced at fields using SWAP in a forward mode. This approach incorporates a soil moisture deficit index (SMDI) that can estimate th...
