Abstract

Recently, design of cropping pattern based on water resources is getting a high priority. This scheme is complicated, and affected by multiple factors. For investigation, designer must gather a huge data, and classify them. The method of processing and analyzing of the information is important. The method of linear programming based on Lingo software for Hendijan irrigation and drainage network was used. On the basis of water resources situation, physical limitations, ecology and economical parameters, hydromodule was determined. The model with initial data for crop pattern is performed by software to produce projected hydromodule. In this survey, sensitivity analysis on water cost was conducted. Result showed that by increasing water cost and rotation intensity, revenue for each consumption water unit was decreased. The maximum benefit for all available conditions of water on the case of non intensity would be 140 percent, for 3% of crops. The maximum benefit was 133346682 Rls per hectare based on water availability for 2006.
