Vol. 1 - Theory. A theory for simulation and optimization of an irrigation system to evaluate improvement alternatives was presented. The mathematical simulation model of an irrigation system was developed combining existing models of conveyance, application and water use subsystems. The performance of the subsystem simulation models was verified using available field data from Pakistan. A methodology for the optimal design of a level basin irrigation system was described. Irrigation system improvement alternatives such as canal lining, earthen improvement of the application system were evaluated. Vol. 2 - Application. Wheat production on a watercourse in Pakistan was analyzed. Models for water conveyance, application, and water use subsystems were calibrated with data from the study area. The existing irrigation system operated at a 39 percent application efficiency and 53 percent conveyance efficiency. Optimal design of the application system with precision land leveling provided net benefits of 3625 rupees (Rs) compared to Rs 2612 under traditional field conditions. Canal lining was not economical. Earthen improvement of the conveyance system was beneficial to the farmer with a net profit of Rs 3304. Combined improvement of the application and conveyance systems almost doubled the total net benefits over the traditional system, but with an increased level of investment. The increase in benefits was mostly a result of the increased irrigated area that could be irrigated after the improvements. The benefit/cost ratio of each improvement alternative was different. The difference in benefits between improving the conveyance system and the application system was small, but there was a significant difference in net benefits between any single improvement and the combined improvement of the application and conveyance systems.
