ABSTRACT
In open canal irrigation networks, conveyance of water from the resource to plots through the best route under current topographical and ownership distribution restrictions is an important problem. This problem is especially significant for countries such as Turkey in which open canal systems constitute most of the irrigation networks. In this study, the shortest path, minimum spanning tree, network flow and transshipment models were applied to a state-owned irrigation network in Burdur-Turkey for open canal irrigation network optimization by taking the modifications required by the topography also into consideration and the results obtained from the models were compared with the current applications.
