Otimização do uso da água no perímetro Irrigado Formoso aplicando lâminas máximas de água

Abstract

The optimization of water use has been a challenge for managers, as irrigation planning requires special care, in order to reconcile water balance and demand in terms of quantity as well as spatial and temporal distribution. The objective of this study was to set an optimum crop plan using a linear programming model, with maximum depths of water, to maximize the farmer's income and optimize the use of water resources in Formoso Irrigated District. Maximization of the net revenue in Formoso Irrigated District was R$ 67.643.676,78. The following crop-growing pattern was used: 30 ha squash, 30 ha Phaseolus beans, 1243 ha watermelon, 1542 ha banana, 1200 ha papaya and 300 ha Tahiti lime for the annual volume of 79,649,300 m3.
