Sensitivity of Furrow Irrigation System Cost and Design Variables

Considering the minimum cost as the objective, the furrow irrigation system design problem is formulated as an optimization problem. A combination of monotonicity analysis, constraint activity, and condensation are used to simplify the size of the mathematical model of the problem. This reduced model is used to analyze the sensitivity of the optimal design variables of a furrow irrigation system. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) equations for...
