Pumpa Irrigation System | Model |
| In this case, the surface water level is modeled by a first order differential equation. There are six sections with equal area that are allocated water based on institutions that determine how long each sector receives water, and in what order. Water is allocated to a given sector by opening and closing gates along the irrigation canals. Based on these allocations, each sector maintains a crop yield depending on the amount of time that maintains their water level within the bounds of a desired... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Pumpa Irrigation System, Central region, Nepal | Case |
| The Pumpa Irrigation System draws water from the Pumpa river to serve approximately 120 households. It is a "north-south" system and is in an area with relatively steep terrain. This case was analyzed using a stylized dynamic model to assess its capacity to cope with new challenges from global change. The model suggested that the adaptive water allocation rules used by the community (sequential, 12 and 24 hour rotations) could significanty enhance the robustness of the system to increased... | 09 Aug 2016 |
