Canal operations planner. II: minimizing inequity
For many large irrigation systems, distributing water equitably is a stated management objective. Canal operations plans specify which canal to operate at what discharge for each irrigation interval to achieve the stated objective. In this study, a function of the Gini index is incorporated in to...
