Increasing water use efficiency in the agricultural sector requires the use of appropriate methods for intelligent performance evaluation of surface water distribution systems in agriculture. Therefore, in this study a systematic approach was developed for operational performance appraisal of the agricultural water distribution systems. For this purpose, Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) were used to evaluate the technical performance of irrigation network, considering the uncertainties in the water exploitation process. The performance of the developed models was studied on the Roodasht irrigation canal, located in central Iran, which suffers from severe fluctuations in the inflow, by evaluating the adequacy, efficiency, and equity of surface water distribution. Hydraulic simulation of water distribution system, as well as providing the information required for training and validation of the intelligent models, were performed using the HEC-RAS model. The results showed that compared to the FIS model, ANN and ANFIS models similarly predicted the model outputs with lower errors at almost the same level. The adequacy, efficiency, and equity indicators were predicted by ANFIS model with MAPE of 0.16, 0.01 and 0.23, respectively. Also, FIS model was only able to predict the efficiency and could not predict the adequacy and equity with appropriate performance. The findings of this study reveal that since the ANFIS model uses both FIS and ANN models in its structure, it considers the model uncertainty reliably, and it can be used to evaluate the performance of agricultural water systems.
