Edwards, D.R. | Ferguson, J.A. | Fryar, E.O.
A mathematical model was developed to simulate the operational characteristics of farm reservoirs used with groundwater for irrigation of soybean in Arkansas. The model, referred to as the Arkansas Offstream Reservoir Analysis (ARORA) model, simulates reservoir and soil water balances, aquifer response to pumping, and soybean yield. Computations of incomes and expenses are performed to enable objective assessment of reservoir performance under various circumstances. The model also contains an optimization subroutine which can help the user identify the reservoir capacity which is best, on the basis of present worth of simulated net incomes, under the specified conditions.
