Simulating Irrigation Systems (Landscapes) in Ancient and Modern Times
Developing an Irrigation-Related Agent-Based Model Framework
The human-water system, exemplified by irrigation systems, can be viewed as a highly intricate adaptive system that emerges from the dynamic and continuous interplay of environmental and societal elements over time and space. A thorough examination of the interconnections between

Modelling Southern Mesopotamia Irrigated Landscapes
How Small-scale Processes Could Contribute to Large-Scale Societal Development
Early Southern Mesopotamia shows a complex history of expansion of (irrigated) farming in relation to urban developments and changing landscapes. As a first step to study expanding irrigated farming system, an irrigation-related agent-based model was developed to explore farm(lan
...
Often, individual, communal, regional, or even national conflicts arise when water resources are shared and used. For equitable water-sharing strategies to be implemented, adequate collective action is required to allocate water – not limited to, but specifically in irrigation sy

An Advanced Irrigation-Related Agent-Based Model (AIRABM) of farmers' decision-making mechanism and feedback among farmers is developed. The model explores the interactions among human and non-human agents in the irrigation system. In this paper, we discuss harvest patterns as th

The literature on irrigated agriculture is primarily concerned with irrigation techniques, irrigation water-use efficiency, and crop yields. How human and non-human agents co-shape(d) irrigation landscapes through their activities and how these actions impact long-term developmen

In order to explore possibilities of mimicking the operation of an irrigation system under varied scenarios, the authors have designed the Irrigation-Related Agent-Based Model (IRABM), providing a platform for integrating human and non-human agents (water managers, farmers, barle
