TLDR
In this paper, the literature and results of more than one hundred published articles in scientific journals with respect to simulation of surface irrigation are reviewed and compared with the results reported in this paper.Abstract:
This paper reviews the literature and results of more than one hundred published articles in scientific journals with respect to simulation of surface irrigation. The results showed that 53.4% of the simulations belong to furrow systems. It is 35.9% for border systems and 10.7% for basin irrigation. However, satisfactory simulations were 70.3%, 63.6%, and 54.5% for border, basin, and furrow systems, respectively. The priority of irrigation methods to simulate using hydrodynamic (HD) and other models is border, basin, and furrow irrigation. It is border, furrow, and basin for kinematic wave (KW) and volume balance (VB) models. Finally, this priority is basin, border, and furrow for zero inertia (ZI) model. Meanwhile, the models estimated advance and infiltration phases better than recession and runoff phases during an irrigation event.read more

Optimization of neural networks for precipitation analysis in a humid region to detect drought and wet year alarms
TL;DR: Performance of the networks was not satisfactory because the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the roles of training, validation and testing phases were lacking flexibility and change, but improvement of network accuracy was found.
