Abstract
Increasing of population is caused that water demands in domestic, industry and agriculture sectors are raised. This situation is needed implementing effective decisions to achieve optimal water allocation considering inter basein water transfer, water value and economical issues. This research presents a methodology for optimal water allocation with considering transferred water and users utilities in Qom province. Qom is located in drought area of Iran. In the proposed methodology, Particles Swarm Optimization (PSO) optimization model has been used for optimizating sum of benefit ratio to water allocated amount as goal function. This methodology has been developed in two cases; with and without considering transferred water and users utilities. In the second case, utilities of stackeholdes are considered in two concept: Water value and Strategic management. According to experts’ estimations, for defferent demands some weights of priority have been estimated. The results show better allocation in strategic management and water value concepts.
