    • 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 ...

    • Value of Categorical and Probabilistic Temperature Forecasts for Scheduling of Power Generation 

      Alexandridis, Mark G.; Krzysztofowicz, Roman (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-05)
      Bayesian decision models are formulated for the use and evaluation of categorical and probabilistic forecasts of continuous variables. The models are applied to the problem of short-term scheduling of power generation in ...
