    • Constrained Stochastic Climate Simulation 

      Curtis, David Carleton; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-05)
      A stochastic, multivariate, hydrometeorological data generation algorithm is presented. Hourly values of precipitation, cloud cover, shortwave radiation, longwave radiation, temperature, dewpoint, wind speed, and wind ...

    • Optimal Irrigation Control Using Stochastic Cluster Point Processes for Rainfall Modelling and Forecasting 

      Rodriguez, Jorge Alberto Ramirez; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-05)
      Optimal irrigation control is performed. The control accounts for the intraseasonal variation of the crop water requirements and for tie dynamics of soil moisture depletion process. The clustering dependence structure of ...

    • Agricultural Expansion Planning: Incorporating Water Reuse 

      Allam, Mohamed Nasr; Marks, David Hunter (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-03)
      A mathematical model has been built to guide decisions required for agricultural expansion planning. Of particular interest is the case when some, or all, of the irrigation sources available have saline water. These decisions ...
