Abstract

Population pressure on scarce resources makes the optimisation of agricultural irrigation systems a matter of national importance. Boundary and initial conditions representative of agricultural irrigation systems are imposed in the model built around fuzzy logic control. An improvement of about 11% in performance was obtained by tuning three key parameters. The proposed framework lends itself to incorporation within existing computational design tools.
