Abstract EN
The implementation of innovative and efficient irrigation techniques is among the greatest challenges facing agriculture.
In this regard, a linear programming model is presented in order to optimize water use.
The idea behind this model is to assess the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of precipitation to determine the amount of irrigation water required to optimize water use.
To achieve this idea, the “knapsack” problem decisional form was used, and the combination of the linear programming and the above-mentioned form proved satisfactory.
Field experiments were conducted in Algeria.
Based on calculated budgets a model using linear programming was developed.
A comparison between the model results and the field findings suggests that the model could reduce water consumption by 28.5%.
